Rocker cover leaks
Posted: Fri May 03, 2019 6:34 am
Hi all.
I have been having problems with sealing the rocker covers,(due to recent tappet adjustments) I have used both rubber and cork gaskets lightly coated with Hylomar blue with no success,I thoroughly cleaned mating surfaces with white spirit.Upon removal of one non leaking cover(applied by previous owner) I found no evidence of a gasket but a form of silicone sealer which was sealing perfectly
Has anyone gone this route and if so what is the best silicone sealer to use
