Hi all,
I need to change the rocker gaskets on my SL500. Happy enough to do the job but just a couple of questions:
Firstly, what torque do I need to put on the bolts when reinstalling the covers? and secondly, I've noticed that on the left (with oil filler) rocker cover there's a separate piece that looks like it's got its own small gasket - anyone got a part number for that one?
Also, is it worth using gasket sealing compound with the new gaskets - never used it before, never had a rocker gasket leak after changing it so wondering what's the point? The way I see it is if torqued down correctly the gasket should do the job.
