Hi there, just fitted my first rubber rocker cover gasket and it works a treat! No more sitting at the lights slowly smouldering!

I got mine from the famous four lot at £3.50 each plus vat and P+P, they look exactly the same as the ones you can get from Land Rover except they ain't £15 each!!!

You fit them with the indentation facing upwards.

These are the same peeps that stock the Coopers oil filters at £3 each.

I've been using some rubber gaskets just lately. It seems best to just lay them on the head without any gasket goo and then carefully fit the bolts through the metal inserts (don't loose the inserts in the engine). Nip down gently and then correct any misalignment before tightening up. I quite like them
