Arnold Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi all Has anyone here ever had a warped rocker cover? I've had one supplied with the AN8 fittings on but it just leaks oil everywhere. We've changed the gaskets twice and used sealant but it still pisses out. The mechanic thinks as the gaskets aren't solving it that it must be warped when the welds were fitted. I don't believe he's using OEM gaskets though if that also makes a difference. Any similar issues from anyone else? I'm considering going back to my OEM cover or buying another one from somewhere else. CheersAl Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arnold Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 I have no idea what that looks like so I don't know if it's there or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madge1980 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I put 3 different rocker cover gaskets on mine, they were supposed to be OE quality ebay items but they all leaked. I then went and bought one from Toyota and it's been perfect ever since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I then went and bought one from Toyota and it's been perfect ever since. I had an OE one before and it leaked so we tried the non OE one as it was a bit cheaper, but that was worse. I'll try and get another OE one and try again before swapping the cover out.can you take a pic of under the roker cover ? Next time I whip it off, i'll get a photo.

adzy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Only fitted mine last week, got an10 fittings welded on. Used oem gasket so hopefully it will be ok. I can't see there being enough heat to warp it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Pattern gaskets are pants. Went through 3 before I bought an OEM one that sealed first time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arnold Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 OE gasket being fitted today on the same rocker cover. I'll change the cover over if it continues to leak. Alternator belt being done too as she's worn down and stopped charging the battery! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
