Ford Crossflow Rocker Cover

[krispy]

All,

Any idea where I can get hold of a standard tin crossflow rocker cover in decent nick? My alloy cover has never sealed properly so I'm planning on tarting up an original one.

Yep, that's about right! I had the engine rebuilt a couple of years ago and threw away the original "tin" rocker cover, replacing it with a nice shiny alloy one to set off the engine bay. Unfortunately, this aftermarket cover has never sealed properly, so I'm now trying to find a non-knackered original-spec cover, which I know will seal, and tart it up with some paint to match the bodywork.

Any thoughts?

Hi Justin,

If memory serves, I got a paper gasket (specified as being suitable for alloy covers) from Burtons when I got the cover. It leaked, so I went back to a cork gasket. Better, but still leaky. Where did you get a felt one from? Hadn't heard about those.....

ps. Nighthawk - going to see a man about a cover locally tomorrow... if he doesn't turn up trumps you may have mail! Thanks for the offer
