Hi - does anyone know a suitable replacement (or part number) for the tappet chest cover? I think originally it used a silk thread to seal? What are the current options?


Thanks,

John

Dos orange or green.

Unfortunately you only need a drop and it's quite dear. If you have a friendly garage maybe you could rent a bottle?

Silk thread is very cheap though.

Also Loctite 574, or Permatex Flange Sealant, which while every bit as expensive as the Wurth DOS Orange are available in smaller tubes.

Thanks all. I assume the rubber seal available for the silver cloud V8 shouldn't be used on the Shadow?

Definitely not John.

The distance from the pump to the cam is imperative with a small tolerance, hence no gasket or thick sealant.

Best regards, Paul.
