Re: Oil leaks
Its a very simple job - just take off the rocker and peel out the old gasket. Make sure you get all of it. I personally have a set of cylinder head scrapers i use to get every last bit off (might be a worthwhile investment - theyre only about $20) - you want to make sure that its a nice clean even surface for the next gasket. Then just whack the next one in, make sure its in correctly and seal it up. You dont need to use gasket sealant on it at all.destinationtoby wrote:Is there any precautions / steps to removing the rocker cover and replacing the gasket?
And what's the go with gasket sealer, does it go on after putting in a new gasket or is just for sealing old ones?
