what would be a good price to have the rocker cover gaskets changed(both sides)
and roughly how long to do it
and who would be best
i got to call some places anyway but i thought you guys might know better

bttt

 

Birmingham area = a call to API i reckon....

 

Its not a bad job, just a bit piddly to get to things. took me about 2 1/2 hours to do both sides on someones car a few weeks ago.

 

want to do mine then

loctite gasket sealent (the black stuff) is what I used.
The engine was out at the time so it took me about, ooh, 5 minutes eachside.

 

LOL.

not particularly but if you insist. bit busy for next 2 weekends though. not far away in Leicester.

 

seriously wot price would it be
i might even be doing them myself yet but not sure depends on work
getting a price on the gaskets 2moro
does a 94 turbo need the half moon gaskets?
rocker cover gasket l/h + r/h
spark plug gasket x4
bolt seals x 12
any sealant needed?

does anybody sell these as a set?

steve

 

does the scooby have spark plug gaskets?
And Im not so sure about bolt seals either.
When I did mine Im sure it was just a one piece gasket on each side (99 phase2 uk car).
Squirt of gasket sealent all the way round the original gasket and bolt it up nice and tight.
£10 well spent imho

 

Majority of the times it is the driver side r/c gasket, a friend had his done last week for 50 pounds including the gasket.

 

To the above yes the scoob has 4 spark plug seals and 12 bolt seals these should be replaced when the main cover gaskets are changed as they will be old and squashed and may start to leak once all put back together , best to do it right first time , just make sure the sealant is high temp stuff got mine from AS performance next day delivery , otherwise it will dry ouy and crack due to the heat , only needs a smear.
