TrisK Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I want to know this too also what will i need new apart from a rocker cover gasket?changing my cover for a painted one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cazzac2222 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Im sure there is a DIY thread on here or Toyota GT Turbo about painting your rocker cover and the Torque settings are in there Also when changing the Rocker Cover Gasket, i got told to clean the surface free of crap and put a little gasket silicone sealers in the corners where theres the little bridge bits that hold the cams in place, hard to describe really, but i did this and have no leaks what so ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 new gasket! i fitted a painted cover and it leaked after... neww gasket solved it... dont do them too tight... wants to be tight enuff to pinch but not squash the gasket! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jham Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 aslo worth noting maye be worth getting the gaskets that go round the spark plugs aswell.as when i first fitted mine i got a new cover gasket but mine leaked around the spark plugs. got the spark plug gaskets problem solved. and ye you need a tiny bit og sealent on the corners of cam carriers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marck glanza V Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 hey its only 7nm so not tight at all Marck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 As above its only 7nm, always advisable to replace a gasket if you have disturbed one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Are people checking the torque settings once the cars had a good run out.. i always nip mine up abit as the rubber crushes even more with the heat, i've never had one leak yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
