Question 1

Buying & Fitting Guide

Accepted Answer

There are a wide variety of gasket types on a typical vehicle, from head gaskets which are installed between the cylinder head and the engine block to engine gaskets which seal out harmful elements and keep the engine safe and tightly sealed. To ensure that you get the correct rocker cover gasket, it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed gaskets. Some important information for selecting the correct part is the type of gasket design needed (composite or metal), thickness, number of holes/ notches, bore diameter and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some gaskets will only be suitable for particular models of certain years. Note: It is always a good idea to replace bolts with new ones when replacing the rocker cover gasket to reduce the risk of premature failure.

On a V-type engine, the leaking oil usually just drips down the side of the engine (and onto your driveway) and turns into black muck. On a four-cylinder engine, it can actually leak into the spark plug tubes and cause misfires. Replacing the gaskets on a V-type engine is a job for the pros but the valve cover gasket replacement cost on a four-cylinder engine is less expensive and can be done in about an hour. When peeling off the old gasket, a good tip is to clean the valve cover with brake cleaner and clean rags. This helps to fully dissolve any remnants of old adhesive. Use the plastic putty knife (never metal) to remove any traces of old RTV from the timing belt cover-to-cylinder head. Catch the old RTV with a rag so it doesn’t fall into the engine. Once the cover and mating surfaces are clean and dry, apply new RTV in the same locations and install the new gasket. Valve cover gaskets are designed to seal “dry,” so don’t apply sealant to the face of the gasket.
