Rocker gasket question
 
Hello

Daft question but I thought I'd ask...
I have an oil leak from one of the bolts on my rocker cover. Do I just take out the bolt and then remove the gasket without having to take the whole cover off?

thanks

Mark

may get away with it the bolts have little caps/seals . on each one , if thats all thats leaking you will be lucky , ile bet its drivers side at the bottom nearest the up pipe

Agreed ^^

Additionally don't be tempted to replace some of the gaskets as you will only end up doing it again. You should do the main one, the bolt gaskets and the two spark plud / coil pack gaskets. Also remember to use liberal amounts of a quality gasket sealant.

How long should the job take and cost at a garage roughly? :)

Hello

It's the drivers side at the top. I've had the complete gaskets done about 2 years ago so it "should" be ok. I try just doing the bolt and keep my fingers crossed.
