Rocker Cover Gaskets

[wongthecorrupter]

My rocker cover gaskets have just started to weep on my 98 r chimaera 450, are these just std rubber range rover items.Cheers

Yes they are. You can use rubber but i have just put cork ones on mine after V8D told me it was their preffered option over the rubber ones. Either way i dont think it really matters.

Something to note - if/when you take the rocker covers off, be careful that the little metal ferrules in the gaskets that the bolts pass through dont drop out of the gasket and disappear into the bowels of the engine.

As an alternative to rubber I used cork gaskets during a recent motor rebuild - Sikaflexed the gasket to the cover only and bolted it down on to the heads. No leaks so far.

Cheers

I've run mu heater pipes under the inlet manifold therefore tidying up that area and making the job a tad easier.

Often the postage on ebay makes them more expensive though, I looked last night before posting, I find Rimmers very reasonable on postage.
