Hi
I replaced the rocker cover gaskets on my 2.0 air cooled at the weekend and found out the vans still leaking oil from the pushrod tubes. Will I have to replace these again when I change the tube seals.
Thanks in advance.
Steve.

Re: Rocker cover gasket
You might get away with it if you havent used silicone sealant to fit em. I've re-used them plenty of times but it would be a good idea to order more and carry a set in the van for an easy and quick future roadside repair.
Incidentally, I've long since given up on the just kampers push rod tube gaskets, they're dire. Last set I had were from Cool Air, the larger seals are green and last ages.
Good luck.

Re: Rocker cover gasket
Hello,
Have you got the wingy wongy springs that hold the pushrod tubes in place.
As said above, use only OE quality oil seals, else you will always have leaks.
Have you got the rocker box clips on the right way round
I never use silicone goop, grease only.
Always carry spare gaskets.
