Hi
Hubby and myself are about to take off one of the rocker covers on our 2 spark; replacing it with an undamaged one from Motorworks. The damaged cover is a result of us dropping it! But what the hell - it's only money when it comes down to it!
The job looks easy enough but is there anything we should be aware of that may go wrong?
Should we replace the gasket seal or is it OK to use the original if it is undamaged?
How much oil is going to come out when we remove the cover?
Any comments would be useful!
Thanks
Pauline

Blow the crap out of the spark plug area via a straw.
Have an old washing up bowl under the rocker to collect oil.
Clean the oil off the seal before refitting.
Do not overtighten the bolts - I don't have the torque settings with me.
Enjoy the view - it is a work of art.

Cylinder head cover Tightening Torque = 9 Nm, i.e. not very much.
