God_Z_illa Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hey everyone, I'm in the market for new rocker cover gaskets and I was wondering if anyone would recommend the GRP Engineering gasket set from Goleby's Parts https://www.golebysparts.com.au/products/rb20-rb25-rb26-tappet-cover-gasket-set-not-neo-rb25-arc3025k?_pos=37&_sid=4815c86be&_ss=r Or recommend am better alternative from your experience? Referring from the receipts of parts the past owner used in building the engine, the current gasket seem to be a generic eBay special that is in unknown condition, but based off the rubber washers that have mostly disintegrated due to either the elements or the battery that got ruptured in the crash. I'm afraid of inspecting them without having replacements on hand incase they refuse to properly seal the rocker covers afterwards. Thanks.

BK Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I'm sure the Golbeys ones are fine, but why not just use genuine Nissan as most people do ? For reference, GRP is Golebys own in house brand - Golebys racing 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/483949-recommendations-for-rocker-cover-gaskets/#findComment-7968988 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I agree, genuine gaskets and rocker cover washers, new half moon seals (with very light silicone bead), bolts tightened correctly will give you years of leak free covers. I don't know the GRP ones at all, they might be fine BTW the rover cover bolts are 2-4NM per the service manual. It is worth re-torqueing them after the first drive 1 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/483949-recommendations-for-rocker-cover-gaskets/#findComment-7969007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
God_Z_illa Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 Thanks everyone for the advice and clearing that up, all the options I found while searching was making me unsure about which gasket kit I'd benefit from most. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/483949-recommendations-for-rocker-cover-gaskets/#findComment-7969045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
