If both rocker cover gaskets have just suddnly 'gone', I would suspect overpressorerisation somewhere! Clean out all the breathers on the engine.
Check if you are getting back pressure through the sump. You will need to cure this first if you have. Spares are available from Bristol Cars, via Brian Marelli.If not try ACCS or Real Steel.
They should all be able to help
Regards,
David

are as helpful now as they were then.

You can allways find spares for the engine and gearbox in the US. Plenty and cheap.
