Rocker cover gasket replacement

[Scottymk4]

I have some oil in spark plugs and been told need new rocker cover gaskets... Question is is this an easy DIY job or better left to the garage? How much do you think it would cost from a garage

[Scottymk4]

Anyone?

should take you 30-45mins if you have the right tools

What tools do I need Barry and is it an easy enough job to do?

Not a hard job. You need to take the inlet manifold off and then the rocker cover (just from top of my head)

As above, no need to remove inlet. It's not a difficult job, just follow the guides online and you'll be fine, there are no special tools needed.

It's the inner gasket that will be causing the oil in the plenum so make sure you replace that one as well.

Cool, how long did it take you? Do I need a torque wrench ?
