Just about to fit a new rocker cover gasket to my 1.1HCS - anything specail i need to remember to do or is it a simple replacement job? I assume no sealant is required?

Cheers

 

piece a piss mate, wack it on, tighten it up, jobs a good 'un

 

change em every 3 years to on a hcs !!!!

 

Makesure both surfaces are clean/smooth, no deposits.

place the gasket on, either rocker cover or head, whichever has a groove

makesure it's still in place all the way round once everything is in place

tighten bolts working your way from middle to outer edges

check for leaks

forget about it for another few years

 

Cheers guys - car will be fully sorted tommorrow bar fueling tho

vroooom ptssssh - dave, come a few years time there'll be a turbo lump in there instead.

You coming along to the Glasgow meet this Sunday?

 

Shocking should be changed every 10k thats if you carry out valve clearence adjustment during service !



Regards Doug.

 

Hopefully mate, and when the time comes give me a shout and i'll help you shoe-horn it in

I'll try and make it, like i say every other time hopefully

 

Nice one - all sorted and running fine now with no leaks

 

Davie, what you gonna do, make the tea?

 

No, show him the difference between RST and XR2i parts

and explain how to diagnose a melted piston

Why not to become a sailor boy

And THEN make the Tea

 

Pah.

 

Cut it out you two Hows about you both do it for me and i make the tea - sorted

 

How about, I point at the bolts from my seat, while drinking beer, and you and Davie work. Davie can pass me the beers
