- Today we will be change the Rocker cover gasket on my Vauxhall Corsa 1.2, oil was slightly weeping down the timing cover causing it to get dirty. I used an Elring Gasket, and RTV gasket sealant from Euro car parts.
Thank you for watching and hopefully the video is helpful if you have the same issue, or you just find the videos entertaining.

Good job Tom. Needed to do that and this video was very helpful. Cheers

Thank you soo much tom iv been trying sort the wife's corsa previous video showing me how to clean the pipes with (mayo) in them that stuff is in side of rocker cover so will be taking off and cleaning this video helped too 👍👍
Quick and straight forward video. Thanks
Thank you very much
Mines leaking near the oil pressure switch (common problem on these) changed the oil pressure switch but looks like it’s coming from the rocker cover and leaking down on to the alternator area. Where was yours leaking?
Keep going.
Why do you need the silicone? What kind of silicone is it? I'm doing mine soon, looked straight forward until you mentioned the silicone.
We’res best place to get the correct torque wrench from pal iv got a torque wrench but it does not got to 8nm pal thanks
Do u no the clear silicone u use on head we’re u but it from pal thanks
This is my next job, what do you mean you lubricated the camshafts ? What with?
Where can I PCV VALVE for my corsa buying? Netherlands.
wht's number size of : bolt screws rocker cover
?
Another great video Tom, yellow subtitles would be more visual than black if possible..well done.
Definately! Ill sort it in future.
There is no better feeling then fixing your car and saving money. Now l wish my Corsa was 1.2 insted of 1.3.
I totally agree haha, aww haha
perfect. Just replaced mine and didn't know I had to apply silicone (how comes it needs silicone plus the gasket?) I'm not in the mood of taking it out again, so I'm afraid that I will have to find out if that silicone was really needed.
Hahaha, I think it has issues sealing as the timing chain gasket protrudes above slightly. If it's fine leave it Haha.
@@TomsDriveway I guess I will find it out soon. That damn oil always seems to find a way out, no matter what
che misura la chiave per le viti torx?
So you'd only do this if the rocker cover was leaking and obvs the gasket has perished?
Yup!
what size are the reverse torx bolts for the cover?
They are e10s sorry for slow reply
Any tips for removing the plastic bit on the left side of the rocker cover that goes to the oil pressure switch I just snapped the bottom clip and the top one don’t wanna budge I don’t wanna snap both 😂
Also snapped the tab on the wire that connects to the oil pressure switch any idea how I replace this without having to buy a whole new loom 🤦♂️
Having a nightmare haha, dont worry you could always cut it and solder a new wire on anyways. Easy enough, just heat the plastic slightly only slightly and a small flat head.
What did you clean and lubricate your camshaft with mate?
I cleaned it with break clean and lubricated with 5w 30 castrol magnetec oil.
Tom's Driveway cheers mate👍
did you use the sealant around the gasket
Nope only on the area between the timing gasket.
Did you use scilicone grease or some sort or RTV?
A sort of RTV sealant basje1.
@@TomsDriveway why did you use sealant?
just to note its a rocker cover
Can I have a list of every tool I need?
E10 & T30 for anyone else searching
Why did you put the silicone on?
The haynes manual suggested to because of the gasket between the time case and the block.
Tom's Driveway oh ok, Do you have to do it or will you be ok without doing it?
what about O-ring for bolts? i get leaks through bolts so i got new O-rings but i cant get the bolts out of Cover? any tips?
Yeah that can happen too, i think in the past ive used channel lock. Or locking pliyers and tapped the pylers upwards
My vauxhall garage wants to charge me £800 for this.
do you need to use any sealant ?
