cheers, just make sure you give them a good rub down with some wet&dry to take the crap off them and make them smooth and ready for first coat

on the bottom of each rocker cover is a small gasket, be carefull not to damage it when removing and when its off the car, just put it back on again and do up tight, thats all ive done and no leaks

have to be careful with rocker cover gaskets as they break easily, ensure when putting it back on smear a little oil round the gasket. also check to make sure theres no shite around the seal, will make it leak
