I have just rebuilt my 1.9 DW8 from the Head gasket up, (first time ever and think I have done an okay job)
However, I am pulling my hair out as oil leaking from rocker cover gasket- (I think!)
The gasket set I bought on line included a lower gasket for the rocker cover which has a raised profile for inserting into a recess in the underside of the head's cover. ( Which I learnt since fitting)
My head's cover is flat and so naively it just buckled the gasket, which popped out at various places along the way.
I tried with some Red silicone gasket sealer as well as the ill-fitting gasket and then silicone on its own, but the oil still came -And not just a leak, copious amounts spitting from the the back of the engine enough to soak the surrounding parts.
When I went to 'Fast parts', their computer said that if the cover is the sort without a recess only a Peugeot gasket will fit it!
Does anyone know where I can get one of these or do I have to go to Peugeot?
Other question, should the silicone be enough on it's ow? Should I have waited longer than an hour for it to go off?-the guy in the shop said it was instant!
