Hi guys and gals, It has been reccomended to me that I buy a set of original stock rocker covers to help solve the leak problem. So if anyone can steer me to where I can find a good used set..or even reasonably priced new ones...I'd be happy to receive your suggestions.
The motor is a 74 1300 block with 1600 barrels and twin port heads.

Hi
check Your spring bails that hold the tappet covers on..

they should be very difficult to push up or down...

they can be replaced or bent back into shape...

mine are very difficult to push on or off... lol

You can also buy chromed ones...
how good they are I don't know..

but chromed tappet covers hold the heat..
VW used them back in the 50-60s in Scandanavia etc..
to help keep the oil hot...
