Rams 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Hey, I had the same issue when I replaced my plastic rocker cover (vr6) to a metal type so it could be polished. You also need a different rocker cover gasket as the metal rocker cover is designed for a flat gasket where as the plastic type recesses into the gasket first before its fitted. You just need to get something thats the same size thread and lots of them and nuts. My mechanic friend had a load of audi and vw bolts/nuts and he had the correct amount needed. Forgot how many you need but its quite a few. I had all sorts of trouble trying to get tps to find the gasket and kept insisting that the gaskets were all the same as they only list a plastic style rocker cover. I will look through my thread to see if I've missed anything. Think I ordered a passat or golf vr6 gasket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
