AnniBooster Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi, I need to change the rocker cover on my 150 PD, it has an ARL engine. This is because the gasket has failed and it is weeping oil. I beleive the gasket is laminated into the cover. Are there any pitfalls to this job? Also what is the tightening order to prevent distortion? Many Thanks AnniBooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Straight-forward enough When you tighten, do it from one corner to the other, then work inwards diagonally, but don't torque them all up at first. Once they're all tight, then go round the same route as you did to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniBooster Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Cheers for that Mook, By any chance do you know a torque setting for the bolts or is it just use my common sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Is it definitely laminated into the cover? Mine isn't! When I replaced my injector plug on the same model of car,I too got an oil leak after replacing the rocker cover. I then removed it again and found that the rubber gasket had not sat properly when I had put the cover back on. I made sure that this time it stayed in place while I replaced it and I haven't had a drop of oil leak ever since.That was probably 30k ago,so I think you'll be OK by doing the same!

meriafel Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 The 130pd Camshaft cover nuts/bolts? is given in Haynes as 10 Nm or 7 lbft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
