Welcome dohc281! Good luck with the MGB. This place is a great resource.
Post a few pics when you get a chance.

Very nice! I love the look of those original wheels and the simple, elegant hub caps too.
"No oil leaks" is a nice goal, but try to be satisfied with merely reducing the leaks. It's too easy to spend far too much time and $$$$ chasing oil leaks. Better to drive the car than have it continually apart trying to prevent any leakage. I spent $XX,XXX and a couple of years trying to get my 100M to stop leaking. I finally decided that I'd like to actually drive the car sometime before I expire. I now have another Healey in my garage (the one in my signature photo), and it has three drip pans all lined up under it to catch most of what it leaks. I have learned not to worry about it.

You may refresh all you want, but, understand a 49 yr. old car will leak. Not as much when refreshened and you have used the latest gasket technology available. You don't want to seal it too perfect as the engine won't breath. Make sure the block venting system is kept clean.
