Rocker Cover Gasket Replacement On Gt 3.2

Recommended Posts

Hi guys have a leaking gasket on the lower head of my v6 and gonna attempt changing it myself. I've got an original alfa gasket and all the tools I think I need plus a general idea of what to do but was wondering if anyone had any pointers or knew of any guides online that could help me out?

Also I have a torque wrench but it doesn't go down as low as the 8Nm specified for the bolts. I understand the cover shouldn't be replaced too tight?

 

Thanks in advance..

Remove the cambelt top cover,

 

remove the 13mm spacer within the cambelt area that goes to the bracket on top of the rocker cover, the rest is pretty self explaitory (the 13mm nut for the earth group, the ring of M6 allens and the m5 allens on the top cover and coil packs), but also note that oil WILL ALWAYS run down the front of the head next to the steering pump and you'll need some rag there to catch it....no matter how careful you are.

 

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD 6mm ALLEN BIT AS THE BOLTS ROUND OUT EASILY.
