   Hello Everyone. I haven't posted here before but I've been reading the forum for while. I have a 2000 X reg saxo desire 1.1. The rocker cover was leaking so I changed it. But It keeps popping out from under the rocker cover. I was just wondering if it needed to be sealed and what to use to seal it. I've done a couple of searches and found nothing that relates to my specific problem.
   
   Thanks in advance

   when you change it, use some gasket sealant aswell as the gasket then torque the bolts down to the recommended setting

   The gasket is a black rubber one and needs to be fitted correctly over the lip on the rocker cover. It should not pop out at all.

   i changed the one on my lads 1.1 a few months back and as stevo123 said it fits in a lip on the rocker cover so should need no form of sealent i think there is also a couple of lugs it locates in aswell....gazza
