EP70-PT Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Any tips on installing it? What does it need? Just the gasket or some sealant too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bug679 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It helps to put a smear of sealant around the cams in the corners but people will disagree. I've always done it and it never leaks, just make sure it's clean before putting it on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patman Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hello Bug mate sure did, didn't come out to bad either, used some black sealant on all 4 corners and cams, and as tightened the nuts down and some sealant comes out the corners of the cover just wiped it away with a cloth, (pic below) haven't had time to sort out the dastek, I might just put it back up for sale on here as I have a feeling gonna need to travel quite far to get it fitted etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bug679 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 That's a nice clean looking bay there man loving it 🤗 The black and blue just looks sexy Pity about the dastek man sure it'll sell no bother but sure if it to much travelling puts a downer on things lol but ya should think of the fun you'd have coming back 😝 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dan106 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 So does some sealant usually stop the non-oem gaskets leaking? I've just fitted an ID-workz one and it started leaking after the first drive Anyone know the torque specs for the rocker cover nuts?

starletezy Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 ID-workz ones always leak there not genuine gaskets poor quality. Genuine gaskets don't need any sealent anywere they seal perfect each time I have used them. The torque specs for the rocker cover nuts are 7nm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 +1 for oem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Genuine Toyota gasket, smear with a small about of silicone grease do not over tighten. I've never had one leak yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah I saw they leak but I'd already bought the full kit lol, I'll get a Toyota one then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Only £12 well worth it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
