great, short and very helpful video. You only forgot to add rtv silicone for better sealing and to mention using an equal amount of force (about 6lbs) on bolts as its a breakable ones. Thanks
Ideally you want to start from the middle to outside. and go criss cross when you tight them up. Another tip (as one of the viewer suggest it in the comments) is to put some RTV silicone between the cover and the new gasket and leave it to set for about one hour. This will hold the gasket attached to the cover and will help you a lot when you fit it back on the car.
@@lsateam1491 so I've seen other videos where they put that sealent on all the corners of those horse shoe cut outs, are you saying that I should put a small amount there and leave it for an hour before I replace the cover or replace the cover straight away on top of the fresh sealent but then leave it an hour before i start the car? Thanks for the replys
Almost perfect but dont forget to put liquid gasket on all the corners of the half rounds. This is a weak point. And before starting the engine, put the contact on and wait till the valvotronic has set. This will take about 30 secs.
Before starting the engine you have to put the contact into the last position. The valvetronic wil make some sounds which indicates its adjusting. When the sounds are gone you can srart te car. Approx 10-60 seconda
maxime clincke I don’t know exactly what do you mean. If you are talking about the rocker cover gasket then is obvious, you’ll see oil leaks around it.
Don’t be to worried. This is a very good and reliable car. Is normal to do some maintenance as the car age. You can’t expect a rubber or plastic to last forever.
