How to Replace the Rocker Cover Gasket on a Mini Cooper R56

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the rocker cover gasket on a Mini Cooper R56, remove all the bolts surrounding the cover and clean any remnants of the old gasket with a cloth and solvent. Fit the new gasket (costs £12.55 on auto-doc, plus £9.95 for shipping). In the corners (only in the corners), use black silicone paste for better adhesion (available on Amazon for £11.89 with free delivery). This job should take no more than 30 minutes.
