I've got the kit, gasket sealant, oil's just been done and filter so the oil can be fed back into the car.

£40 if you can do it.

See you in a bit Acko.

Default Rocker cover gaskets!

Now then ladies,

It took me 2 n a half hours to do my gaskets, as I thought it was a ball ache, you would'nt believe the design gaff on the part of the engine head where it leaks.
There is a "half moon" plastic insert that blanks off a cut out in the head, presumebly because the heads are cast as a mirror copy of each other side by side.
This insert just happens to be located on the botton rear corner and is about an inch off the manifold, hence the smell of burning oil in the car.

Anyway, done it now and al set for tomorow.

dt's got the evo 4 and what a cracking motor it is. Very quiet though, to quiet for dt i think.
runs very smoothly, better on the juice than the scoob, but i will let DT tell you all about it.

nice car lee.
