I hvae had my Rocker cover off a cople of times now and each time when its back it leaks around the half moon seals.

Can anyone recommend a good sealant to use as well?

Cheers

Blue hylomar, works fine for me, been told it disolves well in oil which is good if some of it ends up in your oilways...

No worries, just dip the ends of the half moon in the tube, much easier than trying to get a blob of sealant in the right spot without making a mess of it.

hylomar does not dissolve it clogs pickup pipes ,use wellseal or high molecular silicone ,many car manufacturers do not use gaskets today instead they use silicone sealant when built in the factory from new!!!!
