Hi you're doing a great job by the sounds of it keep it up. I went through chemo and bladder removal it does drag you down and there were days when I couldn't do anything, but when I felt reasonable I would do a few jobs on my F. Now I'm doing HG and a few jobs on my TF VVC160, hoping to get it all done by the spring health and temperament allowing. Keep going and good luck with everything.
Regards Glyn.

Use it if you feel it'll do a good seal. Can't do any harm but its down to you.
Good luck. Glyn.

My F is 97 on a R. TF that I'm working on is 2002.
By the way I think there's quite good info given on this Forum, a lot of knowledge.

So as I said MGF/TFs use this type of gasket.

Hi yes that what I done when I first had my F. But the TF has a lot of contaminated oil/emulsion paint that has gone through the oil galleries. I may be wrong but I'm sure the late MGJohn (May he rest in peace) once suggested using Diesel engine oil to do a flush. Anyone else aware of this?
Thanks Glyn.

Hi if it were mine I would get rid of that wadding cover and replace it with the plastic one, or make one of your own. Glyn.

Hi I don't understand what this has to do with the question I posed?
My question was about flushing an engine through.
But thanks anyway. Glyn.

Hi thanks for your input, the oil/water contamination was like coffee coloured emulsion paint that why I thought it had better be flushed out/through. Re the VVC timing: The diesel oil & flushing additive would only be used for a short time until the motor reached temperature then drained. Thanks Glyn.

Hi everyone I have another question in regard to my TF:  I want to flush the engine through after draining the coffee coloured oil & water emulsion,  so what I thought about doing was to use diesel engine oil + flushing additive and hopefully this will get rid of the remainder of the emulsion, after which I would do a normal oil change.
  Any helpful comments or advice would be most welcome.  Many thanks.  Regards to all.  Glyn.
