I have an oil leak. Its a bit odd how given both heads were rebuilt about 2000 miles ago. so i was looking around and supposedly the valve cover gasket is a common issue and if the rebuilder didn't use a new gasket its reasonable that this occurs. But I can't seem to find any instructions or even parts.

Its the 4.2 SC 2006 engine. Or is it gasketless? Because the next place is the timing chain cover.

According to this there are gaskets fitted (£30.00 each for genuine L/R one's), in addition to having to put a couple of beads of silicone sealant in the areas marked with arrows.

That looks perfect, cheers Col. Ama get some tracer fluid next week and if its the gaskets hopefully its a nice easy change. Although I doubt it

Bit of an update to this, did my right side, the gaskets don't fit, so I was like well my fault for not getting oem, so I went and bought oem. Same issue their too small. Lr said they'd been revised. I ended up cutting my old gasket and patching this one with some gasket sealer. Not pretty but does the job.

Did a smoke test and it's air tight atleast
