Title: Help with Sealent locations on EA113 BYD Rocker over/ Cam cover
Post by: edition30ldn on March 23, 2026, 04:29:13 pm

So i have Vw golf edition 30 with the EA113 engine BYD code. i'm changing my rocker cover/billet from the Oem to an aluminum one , but Ive been told to Put a tiny bit of Grey RTV Silicone on the two corners where the cam chain tensioner housing meets the cylinder head.... :thinking:
but i don't have a clue where these points are ...i tried to ask chat gpt where these points are LMFAO lol and all it said was Exhaust Side (Rear): Look for the tiny vertical line where the "curved" part of the chain housing meets the "straight" rail of the cylinder head. Intake Side (Front): Look for the same vertical line on the front rail.
Here is a photo of the same engine could someone possible mark where these points are on the photo...
