It's interesting what others leave behind for you to find isn't it? I'm
doing my best not to be a DPO, but just a regular PO.

I read in one TR6 restoration book about putting a thin coat of RTV on the
land just outside of slots for the pushrods. This is supposed to be a place
where oil commonly seeps out between the head and block. Is this a good
idea? It seems like there is a chance of gumming things up.
