Replacement of Rocker Cover Gasket

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Engine

Before proceeding with the installation of the new rocker cover gasket, thoroughly clean both the seat under the cover and on the cylinder head to remove any dirt and residue that could compromise the adhesion and thus the seal of the gasket, leading to oil leakage. Then insert the new gasket into the designated groove along the edges of the cover, ensuring it adheres perfectly; place the cover onto the cylinder head without applying gasket sealant, and tighten the fixing bolts using a torque wrench set to the appropriate specification.
