April 13, 201313 yr #1 hi, if I remove the rocer cover, can I reuse the gasket? just use some sealant? ive herd there reuseable?
April 13, 201313 yr #2 It's a bit like a condom...You can clean and reuse it,but it depends on how much sh1ts been on it...
April 13, 201313 yr #3 yeah give it a good clean and check theres no lumps n bumps on the head or cover. if it looks mangled or too squashed in some area replace it.
April 15, 201313 yr #4 Author well after checking spark lugs I have noticed number 3 spark plug hole has oil leaking into it a little...seems the spark plug hole seals f*cked....better replaceing the lot I guess. about 50 to 80 bucks for a seal kit depending on brand.also if oil is slowly leaking itnot spark plug hole area (where coil is) can that cause a problem?
April 15, 201313 yr #5 Oil in the spark plug tube will not create major issues. But it may lead to the plug running slightly hotter.Cheers
April 16, 201313 yr #8 Sorry about that, I wasn't thinking about how much oil, and coils arcing out. Happy to stand corrected. Cheers
April 16, 201313 yr #9 Author hmm, well I do have randon miss fires, mainly in morning when cars dead cold, but latlely, its being a *beep*!,....when drieving off from cold the cars going vrromm...vrooom vrooom.

April 16, 201313 yr #10 Author also my plan is new top end gaskets (valve cover etc) as the intake gaskets are new, also change the injectors, and also posibly new fuel pump.New coils, and maybe plugs, even though there not that old (like 5000k)oh and new head temperature sensor which I got from USA for like 20 bucks lolthis is all mainly just maintenence stuff, some may not nneed changing, like the coils were relaced at 105 000k's and cars now done 233 000k's, also no idea when or if fuel pumps been replaced.
