Rocker Cover Gasket Help
 

Hi,

I've recently fitted new rocker cover gaskets on my engine, I followed the FSM guide that said to use 3 bond round the outside of the head. However, I didn't use three bond on the spark plug gaskets, should I have done?

I've not put the engine back in yet, so would be best to redo now if I have to

Any info would be great,

Thanks

I would mate yea!

Crap, I wonder if i would get away with reusing my new gaskets?

There should be no need to use sealant on the plug well seals. The only points at which it's absolutely necessary (and applied in the factory) are around the front cam caps and across the half moons at the back.

If you've used new seals and tightened the bolts properly there's no reason to think it'll leak round the plugs.

That's more like what I'm wanting to here. I've put brand new seals on and have sealed under the cam caps like you say, as well as around the permimeter of the outer gasket
