seanl82 23 Posted April 20, 2013 Hi all, Im in the middle of changing the rocker gasket, but think the new one is for early models. Its a 95 VR with the plastic cover, and the one thats come out has a central lip that goes up inside the centre of the cover. The new gasket doesnt though. Is the new one an early type, or is it just because its a pattern part as I bought it from AVS spares? Any help much appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 20, 2013 No it's the wrong type - that's the difference... The one you need doesn't seem to be available from there though but it does give the elring part number 2.9 VR6 1995 to 1995 (from Engine No. ABV014001) Manufacturer: Elring Part No: 714.230 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted April 20, 2013 Yeah I believe the new gasket you have been given is for the early VR6 engine, as it is flat and has the brass / steel bolt liners with in the gasket, that are suppose to stop you from tightening the gasket down too tight. The later type gasket has the raised lip that fits in to the recess in the cam cover, very similar to that of the KR & 9A 16 valve engines. Hope this helps.
