Changing Rocker cover Gasket Chimaera

[chris547]

The o/s looks easy and I have the 12 pt socket. Thought the rubber gasket would be better than cork.

The n/s looks more difficult. Is there room to do this without removing the plenum chamber? if it needs to come off presumably it needs a new gasket?

How do you deal with the dip stick tube? does it pull out attached to the cover or what?

The rubber gaskets are a vast improvement.

It is an easy job but raise the plenum.

There is a screw holding the oil tube.

Service the n/s breather while you are at it.

Thank you Dave,

Raise the plenum but is there a gasket to replace?

On mine the dipstick tube masks the screw completely. I presume I just force the tube forward by 6mm so I can undo the screw? It looks like a philips head.

Have a look when you raise the plenum, I felt the re-seating was going to be OK.

Your dip stick tube may have been moved round.

OK thanks I will give it a go

A bit of a pig doing the n/s however the o/s was easy. I am oil tight now so hopefully my clutch slip will stop!!

Renewed the n/s & o/s rocker cover breathers and cleared the 1mm hole on the n/s.

Thanks for the support
