hey guys

ive got an eg si so im running a zc/d16a, when changing the spark plugs noticed a bit of oil in 2 and 3 spark plug chambers. just wondering if theres possibly an o-ring gasket or something similar under the rocker cover which could need replacing.. just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?

cheers

common problem Nic

you can take off your rocca cover, clean and reseal the gaskets with ultra grey, then do up the rocca cover correctly

it then will be fine

sometimes they leak even if you try to seal them up, try to seal them up and if it doesn't work just put some new ones in there, they are very cheap even genuine.

You can seal them with gasket glue, I tube is pretty expensive I think $20
but it will come in handy for other things.
I seal my rocket cover gasket, spark plug O-ring and other stuff on my car hehe :D
