Help, the bloody rocker gasket is dam near impossible to get back in, it keeps snagging at the back,how do I get it back in to the rocker cover and back onto the engine is there a trick?

@Henry_b you got ideas on this? Maybe tag in @Saint.V8 and @holidaychicken too.

A few blobs of RTV on the rocker cover and gasket should stop if sagging off the cover while refitting..

 

[Dopey]

Did it.... then snapped the screw.... (my sons fault lol)

 

[Henry_b]

Some also use a heavy sticky grease, silicon grease works well as it's got a sticky nature too it..

[Dopey]

Well I got one... postage was a killer

Your previous answer of RTV is the way, although I managed it on about the third attempt without.

I did warn you, Dopey! It is a total PITA! Sticking that half-moon shape in the back there under the bulkhead with almost no room to get even a finger in was the act of a sadist.

I popped round to give him a hand when I saw the post for help and agree what a pain in the back side, and looking at it thought about machining up a alloy half moon shape to put in with rtv and cutting that bit off the gasket to make it easier.
may look in to it for when mine needs doing.

Pointing and laughing in true landyzone fashion. The trick is to be super silent and grin
FairPlay to you fella, He did fine, all was needed was a little support - p38's freik you out like that
If you ate all his Jaffa cakes you can make it up to him by doing his steps...

 

[brianp38dse]

Don't like Jaffa cakes but I will still give him a hand with the side steps if needed

Its always good to see him, was a nice surprise, summers coming soon, and we can all come around the BBQ and do some tinkering

 

[RangeRoller dt]

We will have 1/4million members, with freelander 2's by then. Can you BBQ a hobnob?

I've got plenty of tinkering for 1/4 million, or one Wammers whichever you got
