Rocker Cover Gasket

[cliot123]

As we are having some cold weather i thought id check all my spark plugs, ht leads etc to make sure i wouldnt have any problems starting my valver.
I noticed that ive got some oil around the spark plugs and i understand that i should change my rocker cover gasket as this is likely to be the problem.
Any ideas as to what torque i should do the rocker cover upto when i replace it?

Cheers Alex

ft mate=fooking tight

personally wouldnt worry about the torque,do it tight with the right sized ratchet for the job and you wont have any problems

Run it for about 4 weeks and just re nip all the bolts down again as well. This will help it not to weep in the future.

dont tighten it to much !!!!!!! you may strip the thread in the aliminium head are squash the seal which will cause it to leak - tighten it with your thumb on the ratchet head and fore finger on the shaft ( no gay comments AJR )

Good advice...nothing worse than feeling the thread stripping as you tighten the bolt up.
