Hi guys on the top of my head i found a patch job pics are in my showcase just wondering if i should put a new one on or not any advice would be good thanks Ken.
could be corrosion hole from water jacket. looks like metal mend to me so greys advice is good or you could get it tig welded. look at both costs.
Thanks got a new one with the spare engine....any tips got the raidiator off , hoping i dont have to drop out engine. Also what is a good silicon sealent for the gasket. I did notice some small marks from the timing chain on the new rocker cover it`s all new to me will it matter?
new head gasket and depending on type hylomar or nothing.if only marks and not cracks no problem. silicon is not a be all and end all.
Thanks Risky Chris pointed out it was my rocker cover ...i`v got a spare so i`ll swap it over tomorow the gaskets in good condition so i wont need new one. Cheers Ken
with it being the rocker cover a little automotive blue silicon can be used sparingly. many a motor has been killed with excess silicon strands.
Hi Ken Be careful tightening it up ..... theres been alot of snapped and broken ZXR bits here lately! Use a tension/torque wrench
Whenever i put bolts in alloy I always use never seize. a little goes a long way. a lot is used in underground coal mines due to harsh environment. http://www.bostik.com.au/industry-p...-bostik_never-seez_regular_grade-m-0-g-0.html
