Generally, when a rocker cover is removed the gasket should be replaced prior to refitting the cover as the old flattened gasket will probably no longer seal properly.
However, the upgraded Silicone Rocker Gasket from Mini Spares springs back into shape so that (if re-fitted properly) the seal is as good as new.
The silicone gasket is ideal for racecars, etc where the rocker cover is removed on a regular basis. Mini Spares has fitted one to its 1380cc engine road car with great results.
Order as part number GUG705009EVO at £10.08 inc VAT.
In rare cases longer rocker cover bolts may be required. Mini Spares stocks these as part number CAM6823 at £4.20 inc VAT each.
