i have had the head gasket done a while ago and since then i have had a leak from the rocker cover, when i took it off the original grey gasket had come away in one corner.i took it off and re-sealed it with some silicone gasket maker but it is still leaking a bit. i have talked to pug and they have told me this is the stuff to use. it doesn't leak alot but its from the exhuast cam and drips straight onto the manifold and smoke like a b*tch. what do i do next?? |

dont worry, i had the same problem. it went back to the garage 5 times till it got sealed. they had to use a high temperature sealent. because of the heat from the mani, it kept leaking. same deal as you, onto the mani and smokin like fcuk! ________________________________________ TEAM: bottom end knock!! |
