I use Blue Hylomar to attach, and hold in place, the gasket to the rocker cover but nothing between gasket and cylinder head.

What is the across flats dimension for the square drive on the type 9 speedo gear. I could measure it but just being lazy, would need to jack up car ,then put on axle stands to get access to it.
Although to be fair I will probably still measure it anyway- tomorrow’s job though.

I've only ever used grease so the gasket isn't damaged when removing rocker cover. Just nip up the two bolts. Bit of oil seepage doesn't matter imv.

The heat is on, ---- again.

30c plus on it's way again.

And so peep's are getting steamed up and hot under their collars, because they can't buy an a/c unit or a fan. Not cool. Chill baby chill. 😅😅😅😅.

Have you got a mig/tig/brazing torch?

Since you're only dealing with metal, either buy a new quill or make one by cutting the end off a cable. Then tig/mig/braze it in place.

But come to think of it, isn't it just the quill end of the whole cable, that plugs into the square section helpfully arrowed in yellow earlier?

I can't remember now myself. So if it's the former, just sp...

GG was also in my early BMC tuning book (1961) for the std setting but GM was slightly richer but not as rich as EB

I use blue Hylomar but I have equal success with grease applied to both sides of the gasket. The torque is very low 4ft lbs

I’ve got an old ‘Car and Car Conversions’ book ‘Tuning Su Carbs’

Dating back to 1968 !

It lists H1 for Sprite - Rich EB, Std GG, Weak MOW.

Hi Nick

Good to see you posting again.

I'm struggling to find any specific information specific to H1s.

I've had a look in my Haynes manual, which does cover Frogeyes, but only lists the standard needle for H1s as GG. However, it does list rich and weak options for HS2s and it lists the GG as the weak option. It might be worth trying either the GY or AN 'standard' need...

I am about to fit a second hand aluminium rocker cover using a cork gasket to my 1275 engine.
Should I use a sealing compound on the gasket to rocker cover surface. -there seems to be a variety of options in the archives, and I wonder what is the current thinking.
Also what toque should I use securing it?

Many thanks,
Nick
