Rocker cover???

[commodore_4_life]

Hey guys just wondering on a VX, the rocker covers on either side of the engine what type of gasket do they have... a rubber type seal like the plenum does, or a proper gasket. Cause i wanna take the rocker covers off to degrease them and clean them up a bit. So if i were to take them off would i need to buy new gaskets and a new sealer?

pretty certain its a rubber one.

haha i hope your right. :P cause i don't wanna wreck the seal on it, then have oil leaking out of it. haha

There should be a couple of little tabs which are hard to see( best feel for them first). I bought aftermarket ones and they were cork style so double check first if you can!

[old mate]

haha its rubber. well the one on a vy is anyway. pulled a mates rocker covers off the other day and thats what they were.

They should be rubber. And you can reuse them unlike the plenum gasket which increases in size once removed. I would suggest replacing the rocker cover gasket though as it may cause leaks over time if you keep removing/replacing the rocker covers.

Ok thanks man. Yeah the plenum one did increase in size, but i just got it to fit back in. :P

definitely neoprene rubber. I did mine 2 weeks ago. The passenger side one can be a bearch to get to.

Yeah just did them, drivers side was a piece of cake... passenger side i had to take the throttle cable and the cruise control cables off, and the mounting bracket. Although the passenger side rubber did stretch and was kinda hard to get back into place. but i got it.
