I am planning on replacing my cam cover gasket tomorrow [before the football ] and have read a couple of guides.
My question is does the new gasket need sealing all the way round the cam cover or not? I read the parts that are 'raised up' require some sealant where the cams meet but wasnt sure about the rest of the gasket.
Thanks
You need to ensure the channels on the cover that it sits in a nice and clean, and that the surface on the head is perfectly clean.
You only need to put a small pea of sealant in the corners of the cam caps.
