Ok so spoken to two people 1 said I should use and the other said not to use a gasket sealent on the rocker cover gaskets, I have new Subaru gaskets and was wondering if it's best to seal them in place for extra protection


To use or not to use gasket seal helllppp ?

 

Loctite 5910 ????

 

Yep use it, trust me i have done mine, i used a poor sealant and it didnt work so use the black loctite gasket sealant! I had to do mine twice and you dont want to be doing that.

 

Hi David ... Was it the 1 in the black & White tube ? Loctite 5910 ... Think u can pick it up from halfords

Cheers

I did see that 1 but was abit unsure .. Thanx 4 the tip

Any advise on were to seal or do I just seal most of rocker cover where the gasket goes into..

Cheers

 

You should order new bolts and rubber washers for the sake of an extra £20 and seal around them as well, then you really wont need to do it again, and i think they need to be torqued at 5Nm if memory serves me right.

 

Thanks I forgot to ask what the torque setting was how sure are u that is correct ?.

 

I'm pretty sure but ask the question by starting another thread and i'm sure someone will back me up
