That would be mine! Will hit the local hardware shop tomorrow. May have my
buddy get me a viton one instead later...I figure that would work much
better than the plain rubber one.

Since this is the loopframe list, I think only the very last Eldos with
timing chains had the O-ring type head bolt plug with a 10mm allen hole.
All
of the earlier ones had aluminum crush washers with a big hex. Not sure,
but
I think they are interchangeable so many may have upgraded. And yes, the
heat and pressure really does a job on the o-ring. Suggest you toss it
every
time. Cheap to keep on stock.
