FAQ

What happens if you don’t replace your rocker cover gasket?

If it fails and you don’t replace your rocker cover gasket, it will begin to leak engine oil. While this oil won’t do any harm to your engine, it is needed for cooling and lubricating your car’s engine. Without a sufficient level of oil, your car’s at risk of overheating or engine failure.

Where is the rocker cover gasket located?

The rocker cover gasket is located between the valve cover and the cylinder head. Made from moulded silicone rubber, this small but essential part acts as a seal between the valvetrain components and the rest of the engine. It’s also responsible for sealing in the oil that lubricates these parts. While this part is designed to be durable, rubber wears and cracks with time and needs replacing.
