Really if you have the genuine gasket torqued up correctly you shouldnt need any sealant at all but you may have crushed the gasket now so a little may be needed just dont go OTT with it. | |

hmmm may sound silly but when you did the gasket you did scrape off any old sealer etc etc off the mating face where the new gasket sits didnt you? | |

yeh not doing them too tight or too loose and making sure they are all done up.its always in the same place though and once it starts leaking it piss's out everwhere | |

Are you torqing the rocker cover back on correctly?? i.e not too tight and in sequence so one side isnt tighter than the other? | |

first time i used a payen gasket wich are quite good gaskets and i still leaked so i tried a bit of black silicone on it and that didnt work.so yeterday i went to vauxhall and got a proper gasket it stopped leaking for a while but as soon as i put my foot down it started pissing out again:boggle: | |
