BaileyMex Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 Had a great time Sunday at the Wingspan meet, loving how the car looks now However it is in desperate need of some mechanical TLC One little niggle is that I've tightened up the freshly colour coded rocker cover twice now and I still got this after raggin the nuts off it on the way home Can anyone suggest what the best rocker cover gasket would be to use? the one on there was from Burtons Would that black engine sealer stuff be a good idea to use as well as a new gasket?
