Hi Jordan

Looks and sound good. Yes getting the side panel to seal can be a real problem. I've had similar problem with "new" gaskets leaking through the material, for me it was the thermostat gasket that just plain weeped.

When I was working on the 235 and 261 I ran the engine with a lexon clear side cover and was surprised how much oil is standing in the side valve gallery when the engine is running. Other thing that showed up was how much condensation forms inside that cover shortly after starting. Will look to see if I have video clear side cover on the 216.

Like what category your engine test videos are listed, "comedy".

Cheers Phil
