   Mine has a slight crack in it, obviously causing a small oil leak (if you could call it that) its more like a dribble, is it easy to replace ? how long do you SaxP'ers recon?

   Yeah its easy to replace. All you need to do is remove the rocker cover, then remove the gasket (it just pulls off), put the new one on, put the rocker cover back on. Job done.

   my ax rocker cover was around £7 bout 6 months ago, brother fitted it while i went for a quick shop and was done before i got back
   One thing that surprised me was the state of the old one, and how different it felt to the new one!

   i got one from unipart 7 pound takes about 10 mins 2 bolts on rocker under neath 2 little spacers make sure you put them back in on top of the plate but it is an easy job.well worth doing because they crack and leak after a while it gets hot around there.
