The valve cover gasket on my Swift (1.3L 4cyl) is leaking all around and coating the surrounding area with poop so I'm going to go ahead and replace it. I assume it is a straight forward job (ie, remove the bolts holding down the valve cover, coil packs and then remove the cover and replace). Any particular brand that I should buy? Also, any sealent I should buy to put it on? Thanks in advance - Aaron V Was gonna buy this but would like a second opinion http://www.ebay.com/itm/BECK-ARNLEY-036-1877-Valve-Cover-Gasket-Set-/360497646342?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AGeo%7CModel%3AMetro&hash=item53ef558b06&vxp=mtr Edited by aaronvincent, Mar 9 2013, 12:32 AM.

NAPA sells very nice gaskets and seals. Get the ones that are made in Japan. Altrom imports is the product line. I use Fuel Lube on the mating flange of my valve cover gaskets and seal washers. It's available at aircraftspruce.com The 5 ounce tube will last you a lifetime. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/ezturnlube.php?clickkey=9406 |
