I've got a couple hundred miles on my '77 now that it;s up and running. Ifixed a couple of minor oil leaks from the oil pipe and the clutch cover, and expected mike's pcv valve to help the base gasket seal. It's maybe better but still seems to be leaking - a bit worse on the right side. I'm guessing I should re-torque the head to manual spec? Cylinder compression is 145 both sides and it runs great.
Thanks
Alan

Yes, re-torques have been known to fix some oil leaks........Better have a chat to Budha, or whoever it is you chat with when your alone before you begin!

- kryptonite rings will do that to you
- hope you replaced those rubber coated head washers with thick copper ones
