Rocker Cover Gaskets NA 1.6
Just priced a genuine rocker cover gasket replacement at $81 from JohnnAndrew. Has anyone had joy with aftermarket counterfeit or is best to bite the bullet and get a ridgy didgy. I want the oil leak to stop completely so am thinking genuine is best. Any comments from you guys who have done a few of these please?

Personally I wouldn't go aftermarket on something like this.GRUVBB wrote:Just priced a genuine rocker cover gasket replacement at $81 from JohnnAndrew.

Unless I had a NEED to. I.e. I was making to much power for the factory gasket (if that is even possible)

And dont assume that by going "genuine" that its what you are getting.
My local Toyota workshop gets much of their parts from BNT as well!
How do i know?.. they have told me and i may as well go there direct plus i have seen them in there buying parts.

Rocker gasket
Thanks everyone. I got one from a similar outlet. Their list price was $80.99 which is same as JohnnAndrew. Got a discount down to $53.95. It's a JN752 so links up with info supplied here. I'm running with this one. It does say on packaging not to use sealant on rubber or cork gasket. this one is rubber. Is it ok to place a small amount at cam corners to hold in place while tightening down.... Conflicting info does my head in. Obviously do not want it to slip out

I guess i am spoiled for choice. I have access to the big 5 trade suppliers so i know who is good for which parts (its what i do for a living)
i just added the Payen brand JN752 which has recently become available from a wholesaler priced at $32.68!
