Hello All,

Last month I decided to sort out my leaking drivers side rocker cover gasket on my Impreza 1997 Catalunya . Now it's leaking from exactly the same spot again after fitting new gaskets and sealant.
My question is :
Should I have put gasket sealant on both of the mating surfaces of the gasket. At the time I only put some on the rocker cover side to hold the gaskets in place whilst fitting it. I also use the blue gasket sealant stuff from halfords.
What gasket sealant have you guys use to do the job ??
Anymore recommendations before I take the rocker cover off again and re-do the job !!

Cheers

Gary.

 

Did you do the washer rubbers aswell? if not then it probably these that are leaking.

 

yes ... did the lot.

Did you also do the half-moon rubber endcaps?

These are also prone to leaking......

 

JamesS,

Regarding the half-moon rubber end caps. Nope haven't replaced them. Do I need to do that also. Maybe that's why it's leaking.
Are they the 2-caps at either side of the bottom of the head ??

Cheers

Gary
