Well, I THINK i have that small oil leak taken care of....
I took off the tappet cover on the intake side and cleaned off all the RTV silicone that was on it and used my copper coat gasket sealant on both surfaces and put it back on... the bolts are newer hex head bolts that hold it on and they are rather short so I didn't want to put a gasket on there, I'm fairly sure that will seal it up...even if getting that cover off after a few hundred miles may well be a P.I.T.A. ...as it don't like to seperate very easily without a gasket in there...
( been there, done that, before with a clutch cover !)....
i'll probably kick myself for doing that later on, but we'll see !

I didn't get around to messing with the electrics ...that's next.
....
Bob.....
