Default Nightmare job

Well a simple rocker cover gasket change turned out to be a nightmare job as the previous owner had bodged the rocker cover on with Philip head bolts , left snapped bolts in it and a s**t load of sealant to try and hide the oil leak so a 30 minute job turn't into an all day job : ( but she's all sorted now along with a new cam belt : ) big big thank you to rich at fb tuning for fixing it for me , top bloke and highly recommended

Looks like corrosion due to dis-similar metals on the washers, cover and screws!

What a hash up!

lovely work from the previous owner, it's great when folks use their ingenuity to come up with a solution to a problem.

At least it's all sorted now.
