Scored this little jobby on weekend - looks like its never been on a car - might clean it up and swap with the speco for a tougher look?

Hoping it seals better than the Speco which leaks a fair bit at the back - this one seams a much heavier casting

Is Permaseal the best brand to go with?

Been a long time since I bought one. They are re-usable which is handy if you are adjusting tappets regularly. And they don't tray split or leak like cork tends to.

Where do you get hold of these rubber rocker cover gaskets for grey motor? Done a bit of a scan and can't find them yet.

Cork is fine, if the surfaces are flat and the tightening is gentle.

Got one 20 years ago for a red motor and still using it. I don’t know if they are available for grey.

Ive ordered a permaseal which looks identical to the duratec etc but a few bob cheaper - see how it goes - the cork ones seam to be really porous so they seap slowly - not a big drama but a bit uggly
