goonersteve 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Changed plugs and leads yesterday and one of them (#6 if i remember right) seemed to have a bit of excess oil around both the plug and the lead. There wasn't loads, but just wondered if this is anything to worry about?Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
muttley 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 mine has done the same so i would be interested to find out the answer to this to.I had a similar problem with my mk2 16 valver and that turned out to be the rocker gasket as the gasket went around the plug tunnels to, was wondering wether the rocker gasket on a VR is similar to this Link to post Share on other sites

goonersteve 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Cheers guys. So that is even if it was only on one plug and lead, yeah? Link to post Share on other sites
muttley 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 yep, when i had this on the valver the oil used to push the lead up and off the plug. major headache. new rocker gasket and it was good as new Link to post Share on other sites

goonersteve 0 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Guys, can I just ask a stupid question on this (don't laugh!)......after reading up on this, I have heard "rocker cover" and "rocker gasket" both mentioned. Now i'm assuming these are both the same thing, are they? Link to post Share on other sites
