Re: Changing 4age rocker cover gasket
The gasket has rubber where it goes over bearing caps, ive changed about 3 of them with no goo and they havent leaked. If anything they tend to seep a little oil on the front above the headers and on the gearbox face side of engine.
Also you might wanna but some of the cam cover nut washers. Theyre a metal/rubber combo - you could use your old ones but if your gasket was dead then these will be too once you take them off. You'll see what i mean when you take the cover off but you could always use yours for the meantime - they shouldnt be too bad if your careful taking them off.
