Hey guys, So it turns out my rocker cover gaskets are leaking. Its going to cost me a ton to get them replaced by holden and i figure its something that i can do. Anyway what i need to know is do i need to use gasket goo for these ones and is there anything i should keep in mind or look out for when doing em?
these gaskets are re-usable. take the rocker cover off, clean the gaskets and put back on and tighten. no sealant needed.
if they are broken then just go2 ur nearest repco, autobarn, supercheap auto or bursons and get a set and put them on urself...2easy
it is a very easy job mate, have you tried giving them a little extra tighten? make sure you have a small extension for your socket set for the drivers side rear most bolts though The gaskets are around $50 for the pair I think and a drop or two of silicone sealant doesnt hurt to ensure the gasket stays in place while you refit the rocker cover. I.E ad a few dots around and stick the gasket down to the cover, let it set for 30 minutes then do the refit. Sounds like a good oppurtunity to paint the covers
ah ok cool... yeah i went to sprint auto parts and its $16.50 a gasket but is it going to be worth it if the gaskets are re-usable... cheers for the info dannyboy, been thinking bout painting the engine cover as well so i may as well do the rockers to match
