Title: Valve cover gasket
Post by: Rigsby on September 22, 2018, 09:55:52 am

Mines leaking from the back left, the gasket isn’t expensive but the bolts are.
I’ve tried nipping the bolts up from where it’s leaking but they won’t tighten up

Do I need new bolts when doing the gasket? Anyone know a cheaper place to get them? Think they were £6.80 each and there’s 14 in total

I replaced my gasket when I done the Cam Chain job a few months back, I didn't replace the bolts, personally I'd just get a new gasket.
