changing Rocker cover gasket
Apart from removing the 10mm nuts and replacing anything else I need to know ? Are there and torque settings for this available or just nip it up and not over tighten
Reason for changing is its a bit leaky am I likely to encounter any problems ?

Re: changing Rocker cover gasket
If you buy a cheap gasket you will have problems.
Buy a quality gasket, use nothing to seal it

10Nm for the nuts, tighten from the centre outwards in a diagonally opposite pattern.

Are they also easy to fit/straight forward ?
No sealant on the non cork bits ?

You need a mk2/3 Golf manual for the diesel engine

I always fit dry however a small dab of hylomar or similar at each end of the strip that goes over the cam cap.
The studs have a shoulder so just nip them up.

Re: changing Rocker cover gasket
Hi, quick question following on from the 10nm advice here.. just changed my gasket and put new studs in, but can only get 3 of the nuts to tighten to 10nm, the rest of them seem to be pretty loose and keep turning. Do I need to keep cranking them round? (Worried about overtightening them) the studs definitely aren't turning while I tighten as they nuts do the same whether with torque wrench or spanner. Thanks
