Hi

I have managed to be a complete idiot and make a mess of changing a rocker cover gasket on my 1961 Warwick (TR3 Engine).

I put a new gasket under the rocker cover and then tipped 4L of nice new engine oil into the engine. As I have fitted the gasket badly most of that oil leaked out onto the garage floor:eek: .

The problem is that the gasket wants to bow inwards along the longer sides, how do I get it to stay in place whils I fit it?

Cheers

Joe
 
Stick it on with some Hermetite Blue sealant. If really desperate use masking tape to hold it in place while you tighten it down.
 
Thanks DM.

Will try the Hermetite, I think I have some in the garage.
