rocker cover gasket kit?


Recommended Posts

right, as some of you know may know i've recently bought the Impreza back that I sold last year, albeit with a couple of problems that weren't there when i sold it!

 

1 of the problems was there was white smoke coming from around the turbo area. It did it on the test drive & it did it when i drove it home. It then did it a few days later when i had it running on the drive although it stopped after a few mins.

 

Anyways i fired it up again today & it started smoking again so drove it round to mates garage so i could get it over the pit. What it looks like is the offside rocker cover gasket is leaking & dripping oil onto the manifold pipes.

 

So what i want to know is what rocker cover gasket kits are recommended? Been looking at FAI kits

Id make sure you get the "half moons" as well cos they get brittle over time .

I'd also consider changing the spark plugs (if their due ) as you'll have good access when it's stripped to do the rockers

i was looking into this when i got mine and everywhere i looked people were saying genuine gaskets will do the job properly and loctite 5699 grey sealant, i have used the sealant on many things since and it is by far one of the best sealants i've ever used
