stevmo3691 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af174/maxwax27/078-1.jpg did you need to change the gasket when you took the rocker cover off or did you just unbolt, paint, bolt on with no worries? looks sweet, want to do it to mine! really tidies up the engine bay for not a lot. Its usually recomended to change the gasket for new......unless its a recently fitted jobbie. They dont cost much, I would recomend geting one from ford though. I bought a cheap one on ebay and it didnt fit right, like it was stretched. Had to get a ford one and it went right 1st time. don't suppose you know how much from ford? ebay wants anything from 25 - 60 with bolts?? nice s/s bolts but £60 though I have a set of s/s bolts you can have for £5 (covers postage and little bit for me ) and genuine gasket at my local stealers was about £20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
