Removing engine cover

[JP825]

Can someone tell me how easy is it to remove the rocker cover and putting it back?? BTW, I am not very good with any mechanical works.

Do I need to replace any gaskets if I do?

removing the rocker cover is easy, just remove the coil packs, then undo all the hoses on the cover then remove the bolts around the cover.

new set of cover gaskets are recommended as they can leak when reused. mine did.

putting back the cover with gasket can be abit tricky, be careful not to pinch it.
oh dont forget to torque the bolts when replacing them.

yeh its tricky when putting it back, theres a clip behind it which holds all the wires and its pretty strong lol... i re-used my gasket and it was fine, no leaks.. just make sure you have it aligned properly, which is once again tricky as it is flimsy...

Don't OVER torque the rocker cover bolts. They will shear quite easily.

Plus there is a sequence for bolts. Start at outside and work in.

It IS easy, but has the potential to go wrong. :wack:
