#1: A lot of oil around rocker cover Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Mon May 21, 2012 11:24 am ---- I have a lot oil coming from around the head gasket. The rubber is cracked around the corners and all around it there is oil. Do I need to replace the rocker cover? If so is it an easy job?

Borrow a torque wrench OR dont go mad with the ratchet.

If you can't get a torque wrench, tighten using one finger on the ratchet or spanner and work from center. start finger tight and then tighten each a little at a time. and make sure the mating surface is totally clean - brake cleaner is good...

I have yet to look I'm my Haynes about this. Lol

The oil filler cap you have on it isn't a standard part. It looks like a universal one that may not be fitting correctly. A proper one won't set you back a lot.
