The cork seals , I think it was recommended here on the forum, should be soaked in oil overnight before installing. Seemed to have worked in my 1098 engine effectively, no apparant leaks.

Wellseal is a fantastic product for its age. Was standard for Bentley and great for re-building Lotus twin cams that are notorious for leaking. A good modern equivalent is red silastic. Seals very well, easy to clean off and great for temperature.
Glad to be back!
