I finally got around to power washing my engine so I could  
definitively tell that my slight oil leak was the tappet covers.

Saturday, I'm going to replace the gasket on them.

Are there any tricks or "been there, done that, don't do what I did"s?

I figure it's
        Remove carbs
        Remove exhaust manifold
        remove covers
        clean covers
        scrap every bit of old gasket off covers
        make sure covers aren't warped
        gasket goo the gasket to the cover, let cure
        put on engine
        replace manifold
        replace carbs
        drive, be happy.


I now return you to your regularly scheduled female chest  
discussion. :-)

a Paul.
