How to Replace the Rocker Cover Gasket on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Engine

The failure of the rocker cover gasket is a common issue on many engines, causing oil leaks and a bad smell that can be noticed inside the cabin. Replacing the gasket is quite simple: once the engine has cooled down, start by removing the air filter box, then unscrew all the fixing bolts around the edge of the cover. Clean the surface thoroughly on both the cylinder head and the cover side, apply the new gasket and sealant, then proceed in reverse for reassembly.
