E30 Zone

I have just changed the rocker gasket on E36 316i, and now, every time I turn the engine off it weeps quite badly. Is there supposed to be a sealant on the gasket too? If so what sealant should I use?

no its a rubber gasket and in does not need a sealer aswell it my have been tightend down to much and damaged the rubber

I would use a sealant, only on the curved parts of the cover though.

The studs have a collar on them, in fairness they really shouldn't tighten down much, they hit the collar when tightening by hand and you just nip them up after that. I would be getting a new gasket and hoping for the best.

Edit: I've just checked the torque rating, they should be 10nm. Not a lot at all.

I have just put some sealant on, hoping it will now hold!

you will hope you havnt put to much on that stuff can block up oil ways i striped two heads of 2 e30's last week and the oil ways where full of the stuff
