How to Replace the Rocker Cover Gasket on Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Engine

Oil leaking at the base of the rocker cover is a common fault on this car model, especially when the engine is hot, as thermal expansion further reduces the seal of the gasket; the cause is related to the thickness at the base of the holes for the fixing pins of the cover itself; once you have removed the cover and taken off the gasket, it is advisable to slightly flatten the thicknesses in question, then thoroughly clean the surface both under the cover and on the cylinder head, apply the new gasket, and tighten the pins carefully.
