Oil Leak

I put everything back together in the spring. Some of the things I changed are below

AI Timing cover gasket and crank seal
AI sump gasket
I got another tappet cover that was a little straighter than my previous one.

This time though when I reinstalled the the tappet cover I did something different. Once the gasket sealer starter to set up and I started to tighten down the screws, I took a small rubber mallet and taped in between the bolts to help flatten to tappet cover in between bolts.

I'm not going to say I'm oil leak free but I'm pretty darn dry now.
