Vauxhall Corsa - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa B - Years 1993-2000
Part: Engine
Operation: Replacing the tappet cover gasket

Before applying the new gasket to the tappet cover, it is absolutely essential to carefully clean the gasket seat both on the cover side and on the cylinder head side to remove any residual dirt or encrustation that could compromise adherence and therefore the seal of the gasket itself. . Once cleaning is complete, insert the new gasket into the special groove along the edges of the cover, making it adhere perfectly; then apply sealant mastic only at the junction points of the engine block, where the timing chain toothed pulleys are located and apply the cover by tightening the relative fixing pins.
