The rocker cover, which covers the camshaft housing that in turn operates the valves, is secured to the cylinder head with a series of bolts around the perimeter: unscrew all the bolts around the cover, disconnect the oil vapour recovery pipe and remove the cover along with the gasket without leaving any residue; thoroughly clean the gasket seat and apply gasket sealant only at the edge at the base of the oil seal bracket for the camshaft, insert the new gasket and then the cover.
