Pushrod holes are in slightly different place, but can be made to (more or
less) line up with Eldo heads with a lot of file work to pushrod tunnels.

On the subject of Gasket sealers: In it's country of origin, Hylomar (& most
of it's ilk) is known as "blue death" 'cos of it's habit of letting excess
congealed gloop inside engine come adrift & block oilways causing engine
failure. Nasty.

The only type of sealer I use is the sort (anaerobic?) that remains liquid
until cut off from air, so excess doesn't go solid & float round engine.
Loctite make some, but it's hard to find. If anyone cares I'll find the
number off my tube. It's also a much better sealer tham Hylomar. Oh, and no
bodgy blue lines round the outside of joints too.

That said you shouldn't need any around timing case gasket.
