What is rocker/valve cover gasket replacement?
A leaking rocker cover gasket is replaced to stop oil leaks and burning smells.
The valve cover gasket seals the top of the engine. Hardened gaskets leak oil onto hot parts.
Signs you need it
- Oil on top of the engine
- Burning oil smell
- Oil in spark plug wells
How it works
- Remove cover
- Fit new gasket and seals
- Refit and test
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.
