cam cover gasket struggles

2 posts in this topic

Hi all,

 

This weekend I found myself in quite pickle when attempting to refit the cam cover with a new gasket since the old one was leaking slightly. I found that whenever pushing the cover with the new gasket through the wiring on the left side and cbs and coolant lines on the right side the gasket would come off. When we carefully wiggled the cover with the new gasket through those obstacles the right front corner of the gasket would be knocked off by more coolant hoses with no way to reach them because of the radiator shrouds, thus requiring us to remove the cover again entirely and trying again. we already tried some liquid sealant to hold the gasket in place but to no prevail. while we struggled the sealant went off and the gasket became trash. I have since ordered a new one (not cheap) and would like to know if anyone has a trick up their sleeve to properly and efficiëntly refit the cam cover with a new gasket. Hope to get a response 

 

Thank you!
