millerman 0 Posted April 9, 2010 is it under or around the dizzy if so you need a new seal couple of quid from the dealer but will need timeing done after ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted April 9, 2010 Sounds more like the rocker / valve cover.. not the head gasket. Not an uncommon problem at all.. and not expensive or time consuming to fix. It's just a question of a new gasket and a few hours undoing bits and putting them back again :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted April 9, 2010 It's not too bad on the 16v to be honest mate.. did mine with the help of Supercharged back in the summer before a show, and used it as a chance to fit nicely cleaned / sandblasted upper and lower inlet manifolds and a new rocker cover. Took a few hours tops and really isn't that many bolts, etc to remove :) The only fart is getting the lower part of the manifold up if you're not removing the injectors! With all the fuel lines connected, you don't have a lot of room to play with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
