Unregistered	As you may have seen from my other post I won a mint black and polished rocker cover. My questions are: 1. How much for a rocker cover gasket?? 2. I want to put new shiny rocker cover bolts on with it. What size do I need to get? Cheers oh knowledgeable ones! :D :bmwdance: :Daryll Dyson:

I put one on when I did the top overhaul a few weeks ago. It doesn't fit properly, wrong shape and it's leaking. :( I've got a BMW one and am going to change it (and have another go at the valve clearances!) Friday. When I collect it, I'll post-up how much it is, and the part number. IIRC, I've seen nice shiney nuts or bolts on fleaGay. HTH Stuart.
	Grateful thanks to Cloud for the sigpic.

It sounds that way!! Just pop tot he dealers, and order the gasket, and when you're there, order the nuts needed too, if you're ignition lead cover/tidy is broken, order a new one of these at the same time, they're not expensive, and really tidy up an old or broken or maybe a missing one.

Unregistered	Cheers Simon, I'll do that. My ignition lead cover is one of the only things intact at the moment so I'm ok there. What I might do though is by the new nuts, bolts and washers etc for the rocker cover and have them chrome plated or polished before I fit the new cover. Plenty of firms round here that should be able to do that for me. :bmwdance:
