as you can see my rocker cover is a bit rusted,how much do they cost to replace,anywhere you recomend purchasing from and lastly is it an easy job to do yourself,not very good at mechanical stuff

really easy job mate, basically undo the two nuts lift off the rocker, it may be bit hard as it will have kind of suctioned on, once off make sure you dont lose the two spacers on either side or even wors drop into the cams, it shouldnt do as theres a plate before the spacers, ake the rubber seal off the old rocker or if you get a new one (which id recommend), put that on the new rocker and fix back on, you may have to remove the coil pack as it does get in the way trying to get it back on

the order it goes back on is, plate - spacers - rocker cover - then nuts, really simple, should take you less than 20 mins
