I hope not to have to deal with the clutch in the near future. My dist. Oring is seeping a tiny bit; already have one to throw in. I have heard from SOBSTORY that there is much history to support a needed head gasket change at about 150K-160K. I cleaned off the end of the head below the distributor and it sure looks like the oil begins at the head/block junction. I do not know where/what the end plate that you and others refer to, so I guess I will scan the Bentley to see it's location. If this requires pulling the head to fix, then I will just clean it periodically until that big day arrives.
Thanks,
DET
