Replacement of the Rocker Cover Gasket

Model: Toyota Avensis T250, MK 2 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Engine

Before fitting the new gasket, clean the seating area thoroughly on both the cylinder head and rocker cover sides to remove any dirt and deposits that could compromise adhesion and sealing. Insert the new gasket into the groove along the edges of the cylinder head, ensuring it adheres evenly. Apply gasket sealant only at the locations of the camshaft oil seals, where there are sharp edges that could cause leaks. At this point, position the cover and tighten the fixing bolts.
