   i start my head gasket change today and everything went well apart from when i got to the rockercover gasket. my head gasket didnt have the two rocker cover seals in it.
   is there a gasket u can buy to fit (if so can someone help me out with a pic of what is looks like plz)
   or do i have to use instant gasket seal and make my own.
   
   need help asap thank you

   If it's a 16v engine then instant gasket and make your own

   Yeh - put a nice bead on, leave for a few minutes, then put covers on, leave for a few mins then torque up
