rocker gasket

[summeh]

why bother with a gasket for the rocker cover when u can just use a tube of sealant for less money and more applications?

[MatBrown]

The Clio differs from the 19 due to the way the top mount is bolted to the head but both can be used on either as the differences are only in the plug well area and not anywhere that needs sealing.



Mat.

Isnt the top mount bolted to the cambelt cover?

Yes, which is bolted to the head.

Yeh exactly what GDI did when building my engine, then when i wanted to change the cover to a polished one, it bloody wouldnt come off

i dont think id do the blue peter make your own some how!

i didnt know about the sealant!

[dan-hipgrave]

I wouldnt recommend the sealant option mate - like i said GDi have used silicon sealant on mine, and its not going anywhere - ive tried prising it off with screwdrivers, whacking it with a hammer, everything, so i dread the day i want to fit some cams to it..

lol its £10 for a new one u cheap barstards!

[POWARTEK]

whats it on abt when they ask 4 or 6 holes?

[diggs04]

didnt ask for hole numbers.it had all the right holes in the right places but the left side of it wasnt the right shape.theres some sort of round thing that sticks out on the left on engine. the old gasket had this roung shape cut out. but the new shitty one didnt have this bit cut out. so put a cut it in to put it on.

i wish i had taken pictures it would have been alot easier!

no i have put it on but at the drivers side end it aint the shape of the cover i cant explain i should of took pictures. the old one i took off is the right shape. anyway i had to cut into it to fit it on.its different trust me! thats why i need a renault one.

I know what you mean, i got one from gsf and where the pulleys are theres an aditional bit sticking out, where theres a bolt hole thingy in the way.

I just carefully cut mine down so it was like the original one, and never had any issues with it.
No need to buy another, its only really cardboard stuff anyway.
