Replacement of the Rocker Cover Gasket

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Engine

It is essential, before installing the new gasket, to clean the seating area thoroughly, both on the cover side and the head side; in this particular model, the valve cover has a groove along its edge where the gasket is inserted: ensure that the gasket adheres perfectly to the edges of the groove, then position the cover complete with gasket onto the head and tighten the fixing bolts with a torque wrench, ensuring perfect adhesion and checking that there are no leaks from the gasket.
