carlosd87 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 If I was to take the rocker off to paint would it be an idea to change the gasket at the same time, dunno if it's been removed before so don't know what state it would be in? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Always best to replace it. Even then they still tend to weep oil.I put a thin layer of oil proof sealer round the seal aswell and its all good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Yes would be a good idea mate make sure you use an Oem gasket aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlosd87 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Cheers guys, if Ima paint it myself red would be the colour what paint can you suggest/recommend? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Use VHT Heat paint mate will do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bug679 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Ya can just use ordinary rattle can paint and primer never had a problem with any I done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Don't know how people get away with normal paint. Heat paint is better as it heats up it gets even more solid like power coating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Di_Bodi Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 LadsIf I'm getting an OEM gasket for re-fitting the cover (and all 5 bolts and washers) - DO I ALSO NEED SPARK PLUG SEALS??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki7 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Same again while it's off it would be silly not to. To me it's safe practice if u take something off with a seal on it replace it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Unless it's leaking from the spark plug seals, or they looked damaged, I would leave them be, they are a pain in the arse to remove. Edited January 30, 2017 by TimD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
