	cheers guys...thanks a lot :) well for the tappets getting them for 50 for a whole set...and i'm not after a bigger engine atm, so i'll just change them for now :)

	Oh and no silicone unles your willing to let it dry for a while as it will contaminate the oil and also make it a pain in the arse to remove the gasket possibly leaving deposits in then oil ways when you try and remove it. Not good

	Just press the gasket onto the head touch of oil on the outline to make a seal then tighten up the rocker cover doing it up oposite ends inwards and not over tighten. Tighten till you feel the bolt grab then half a turn. Dont bother with tapets on a small xe its a waste of money unless your keeping the engine for good. My old 1.4 16v was a nigt mare the engine stared with an oil leak on the rocker and then worked its way to the oil pump....then it ended up in a bin.

	hermatite red. smear that onto the face of the head before pressing the gasket down onto it. also make sure the cover bolts are tightened up in the correct sequence

	:( what can I do for to try and fix it for now, until I get it sorted since i'll be having tappets changed, can do the gasket at the same time :) some silicone? [Edited on 22-06-2006 by abdus]

	problem with rocker cover gaskets is they tend to get overtightened I went through 3 on my 1.4 and put a brand new one on the 1.6, and they ALL leaked :( they are a total pain in the arse, and i dont know a good way of getting it sorted :(

	:lol: did you fix it? same problem it seems

	its is the rocker cover gasket mines weaping from the same place at first it looked like it was comimg from behind the dis pack. Have a look where the gasket comes down over the hump on the front cam the pattern part gaskets have a mold/join line on that corner what makes it leak. also have a look at the breather pipes aswell as thay can weap and crack around where the clip is [Edited on 22-06-2006 by flash22]
