@@arcgarage I just want to check one thing before I go pick up the gasket from the auto parts store tomorrow. Is there a torque spec for the bolts on the valve cover or is it "just a bit more than finger tighten" ? I don't have a good feel for these things yet, so the numbers help. Thanks in advance!

Hey mate, greetings from Greece, thanks for the videos, already started fixing small issues with my 2007 A147 and falling in love again with the car…small question, do you recommend a specific gasket brand? Heard many people having problems with afrermarket ones. Do I need to locate an original one and if so, which brand might that be? In the last couple of years I had the gasket changed twice and still there is leakage, thought I’d give it a go myself this time…
@arcgarage
@arcgarage 2 года назад
Try to get the original one the Ricambi Originali, if you can't, get the aftermarket one like FAI, and apply a vert thin layer of automotive silicone preferably Victor Reinz. Thanks for support, Greetings my friend...

hi buddy i have an alfa 147 mk1. i replaced valve cover gasket twice and changed oil with 10w60. But engine keeps leaking oil. the oil accumulates on the manifold heat shield that is shaped aluminum sheet. What is your opinion about the problem? thank you from istanbul.
@arcgarage
@arcgarage 3 года назад
Hi, Check the blow by, unscrew the oil cap as the car is running, and make sure that there isn't a lot of exhaust pressure coming out which would indicate bad piston rings. If that checks out try using a thin layer of victor reinz silicone. Also keep in mind that after you replace it, some of the old oil is going to keep on dripping for next couple of days...
