REPLACING ROCKER COVER GASKET

<< < (2/2)

MrDavo:
If you have a leak, you need to be dead sure it's coming from the rocker cover gasket before doing this, they also leak through the rubber pucks under the camshaft holders, which still gets oil all over the same general area.

This one is a definite engine out job, it would be a shame to waste your time doing the gasket to find this was the true source.

Hi all,
I managed to change the rocker cover gasket a few months ago. It was pretty easy if you are careful and now it doesn't leak. Just follow the chappie on you tube.
Tightening the head bolts - don't think so as you cannot get the rocker cover off; you're only able to lift it a centimetre or so which allows you to stretch the (very expensive) gasket over the top of the engine (one side at a time).
The reason it leaked is that I had put the gasket on the wrong way round: you'd think the sohc 4 is symmetrical - WRONG! The odd 'lump' on the gasket, that points inwards, goes on the LEFT (as you are sitting on the bike).
Mine not running at the moment; I'll post about that later..

The gasket can be changed cos I've done it before. Def a 2 person job though and needs patience and something for aching bones if you are working on the floor.
