Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey there is oil all around my rocker cover.. this is obviously the rocker gasket? how hard is this to change and what do ihave to do exactly..

there is also oil all over the bellhousing.. could this be from the rocker gasket or would this be another leak

thank you

rocker cover gasket is ten bucks and you can get them at any parts store, likly they will have them in stock. easy too replace just the four bolts on top of the rocker cover. a little bit of silocone can help to hold it in place whilst you install it. When you tighten it back up make sure you dont overtighten it. just till there is tension and then about half a turn or you will wreck the gasket and have big oil leaks.

Its quite possible that the oil on the bellhousing is from the rocker cover gasket. however it might be comeing from the dizzy. if it is then its a simple 0 ring replacement.

make sure u get the rubber one and not the cork 1, and dont overtighten it either and chek for leaks after its warmed up. also barina has the same rocker cover aswell.

yeh so when i put it on.. do i need to use any stuff to seal it or anything

its just buy the gasket

take the rocker cover off.. remove the remains of the old one
do i clean up a bit?

put teh new gasket down

bolt the rocker cover back on..

and make sure i have all the leads back in the right place so the cyclinders dont fire in a different order?

yep I always put a bit of silastic over on the cam shaft arch at both ends. found that this area doesnt always seal well. yes your fireing order will need to stay the same. I forget the firing order.

Hard to keep oil in 1ltr rocker cover, those suckers love to pump it
