Replacing the Rocker Cover Gasket

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Engine

After thoroughly cleaning the gasket seating on both the cover and cylinder head sides, apply gasket sealant in the grooved areas, place the two gaskets in their respective seats on the cover, and then position the cover, tightening the corresponding fastening bolts with a properly calibrated torque wrench. With the new gasket, there will be no more oil seepage, which can not only dirty the engine but also lower the engine oil level, leading to poor lubrication and potential engine damage.

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
