How big a job is it to have the rocker cover gasket replaced! Booked in for tomorrow and don't want a huge surprise cost wise.

2x rocker cover gaskets and end seals should be about $400

lyng1, Aug 18, 10:15pm

splinter67, Aug 18, 10:30pm

Sweet. I've just spent $511 on new tyres so didn't want to spend too much more!

Cant wait to see the answer to this one. Couple of my mates reckon it cant be done.

welcome to car ownership lol.

$400! I thought that was a bit much and then remembered how the engine is set up in such cars!

I replaced my rocker cover gasket a few months back, I think I paid $12 for the gasket and did it myself in 3mins lol

Thanks no more dud for me

splinter67, Aug 19, 2:13am
Guess what your mates are wrong

Was your engine a Toyota 3k lol

skyblue17, Aug 19, 2:16am
Yeah wouldn't surprise me. Theyre mechanics not comp experts.

splinter67, Aug 19, 2:18am
Im not a comp expert either took me a while but got it done now

So I take it you go to your dentist for a diagnosis when your roof is leaking!

I paid $450 about a year ago. Genuine subaru parts though, apparently the aftermarket ones won't last

pebbles61, Aug 19, 2:33am
BMC B-series lol

Yes, when the mechanic first said it should be done I thought "Not a big deal" being an owner of classic British cars. But then my son said about the way the Subaru engine is positioned, it's a pain in the .

and yes, I will only let them use genuine parts.

yep correct, genuine only, ask them are they using genuine gaskets matched to the chassis number! they vary by only a couple thou in thickness, if not walk, cost if using full genuine gaskets sets sounds right, be aware some mechanics quote for genuine parts then fit afermarket

Dont be a clown. They are on this MB and offered an opinion. I didnt go anywhere

Did you understand all that or would you like me to type it S-L-O-W-E-R!
