In addition to what myself and BLKGC8 have said...
You want to apply the sealant on the two shapes on the top of the gasket in the image as seen above.

You should only need to undo the Left Hand Engine mount, as the left hand rocker cover was the trickiest for me! Once you undo the L/H mount i had to use a leaver to get the rocker cover out through the bottom (had it on a hoist) so not sure if you have access to one as it makes it so much easier! I also removed the oil filler tube because i pulled the cover from underneath! Definitely get a rocker cover KIT! This includes main gaskets, spark plug tube gaskets (the two inner gaskets) and the bolt seal/rubbers. |

Is there really need for raising the engine to get the covers off? I need to do this as well, I've been putting it off for a year.

I didn't raise it at all, simply undone the bottom engine mount nut and levered the engine to the side to clear cams so slide out the cover! Didn't raise it as such or very little!

i never jack the engine up, just make sure when you have the rocker cover in place, the seal is still in the groove and hasn't been knocked by the cam.
as to putting the sealant on the corners, i put a 'dolop' on the head where the joins of the cam tunnels bolt on, at the front of the cam of course, and i always run a smear around the bottom of the gasket just for added security. good luck with it anyway |
