EP70-PT Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 So, some time ago I bought a BGA rocker cover gasket for my 4E-FE, it leaked... After that I decided to go on ebay (id-workz shop) and get the gasket from them, paid a lot more and what did I get?? Another BGA gasket just the same as the one I already have... Great!

Uzzy@ID-Workz Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 We have genuine gaskets on the shelf as well as aftermarket. They are all available on our website.We've sold dozens of these as well using them on our own cars and they've been spot on. I can recall one person having an issue and we sent a new one and he had no issues. If you're not happy with it mate you're welcome to return it. Just drop me a pm CheersUzzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP70-PT Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Main reasons I bought from you was because of this:And because it leaked... Hope it won't do the same... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 As mentioned above you need to use sealant on the dome areas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP70-PT Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 yes but look at the washers... the rubber is all britled... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 If you by an OEM gasket you wont have any issues it will seal it one time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Looks like you may have done the bolts up far too tight. Doing them up to tight can be worse for leaks than too loose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP70-PT Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 thanks everyone for the replies will keep the new one and install it later, going to polish up the rocker cover anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 As mentioned above you need to use sealant on the dome areas you shouldn't have to use sealant on any part of the rocker on the gasket or the rubber washers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP70-PT Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) It's on the manual, gasket maker around the cams onlyAnd there's some sealant on it already from factory if you take it out for the fist time, I had some there already Edited May 11, 2016 by EP70-PT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Have changed my cover gasket 3 times using OEM never had to use sealant once Quote Link to post Share on other sites
