    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The joint of the hiding place valves(covers) is defective, I would like to replace it. But that you advise me, the joint in "paperboard" or joint silicone(blue). Excuse-me for my bad english.
Thank you for all answers. Greetings.

Sanglier Noir,

It sounds like you need a gasket for the rocker cover to fix an oil leak. Am I correct?

Buy a new gasket, and make sure that the metal surfaces are clean. You can use a smudge of silicon sealant if you wish, but it is not essential.

If you do use some sealant, use only a small amount, as too much will cause it to 'bead' inside the engine when you tighten the bolts on the cover.

Mike.
 
Make sure you remove all traces of the old gasket. You can make your own paper gasket if you have the patience. If the mating surfaces are perfect, smear the new gasket with a little grease rather than silicone, it will be easier to remove in the future. If the surfaces are badly pitted or scratched you'll need to use sealant anyway.
 
Thank you for your answers, that pleased to me to read you. Yes I have a very small oil leakage on level the primary chains, the joint slightly left... Thank you with all.
