Proof, I think, that you never actually lose interest in a Jensen, it's just that occasionally even more monumental, more expensive problems can distract you. Temporarily. That post needs a Like button. Hear hear 8) L I K E Welcome back both of you Marc and Mike L I K E Hi Per!
I was just thinking about you earlier this week and wondering why you had lost interest in your Jensen... Good to have your input again.

A mild mannered cam kept cylinder pressure u...
No it does not, there are 4 bolts that need to be removed but it is possible to do this with the sump in place with a bit of a fiddle. The bit of sump gasket that is damaged comes in the timing cover gasket kit. Steve Ah. Did not know this. My gasket set it is for a complete rebuild so I've got a c...
The timing cover can be removed with the pan in place, but I would remove the oil pan in this scenario if the nylon is missing off the upper gear. The nylon bits all congregate in the oil pickup tube, which should be removed and the bits shaken out. The thermostat housings on MoPar 440s are known fo...
