   Hey, I have a Mk II saxo, is it ok to take off the rocker cover to clean it up a bit, I thought it would be easiser to do this out of the car, its got a bit of rust on but not much. Is it safe to do this would out causing any problems when it goes back on?
   
   Cheers.

   It should come off and fit back on ok, most people take them off when cleaning them.

   Yeah just be careful of the 2 washers under them as then can drop into the head, and most people replace the rocker cover seal when they take the rocker off as it can leak oil after you put it back on (like mine did)
