Done a few rocker cover gaskets before not brain surgery but lately have had to do 2 in less then a couple of months and finding everyone has a different way of doing it.

Normally i use cork gasket just give it a light paint and then silicone to bind it to the rocker cover line it up bolt it down. Normally i dont use large wingnuts to tension the cover down but have them now do them up finger tight and im finished.

keeps leaking..... some people have said maybe a little more then fingertight some say no silicone or lots of silcone so just asking advice from anyone else?

cheers

Cork gasket coated with grease, do up like you would with a spark plug and it should be sweet.

replaced again today no luck.... oil is coming from the same spot every time the front off the head.

What type of cover are you using?
A cast one might be warped or standard one bent?

have used a couple different ones now onto my third... but i have spent alot of time looking at the head this arvo and where the oil is coming from there seems to be a little dip is the oil wall.

Smooth everywhere else except the front off the head lookslike its worn down the slightest from something.

Used sealent on both sides of the gasket and now no leaks.
