rocker cover seals

[connorling]

Hi all,
I am going to change the rocker cover of my b18c. I got the new oem seal, do i need to use silicon glue as well?


Thanks

Some gasket goo is helpful, but not usually required on rocker cover gaskets.

Normally I use it when re-using an old one but for a new one you should be fine. However if you want to use it just put a bit down in the curved/rounded sections around the cams etc, the long/straight parts are normally fine.

And of course torque it to spec.

just little bit of oil spread on gasket and put it back on. done it many of times and no leaking at all

Check your O rings while the cover is off aswell, they tend to become brittle and start leaking oil into the plug holes.

might change that as well, will email honda parts again :)

if BNIB gaskets, put sealant as per TbM's diagram.

just a touch, no more.

Dont forget to put the 4 O ring seals in,or once you screw it on and start engine,oil gonna piss out

also just give the area that the rocker cover and head meet a good clean before removing to prevent any debris getting into the top of the head when you take the cover off.
