Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Engine
Operation: Replacing the tappet cover gasket

After having carefully cleaned the seat of the gasket, both under the cover and on the head, insert the new gasket in the special groove along the edges of the cover; then position the cover on the head without applying sealant mastic (if the surface has imperfections, however, it may be useful to apply the mastic) and tighten the fixing pins, checking that the seal adheres perfectly without coming out of the edges. The new gasket will prevent those unpleasant oil leaks that dirty the whole engine and also cause bad odors.
