Message: <blockquote data-quote="moots" data-source="post: 722215" data-attributes="member: 219">yes bro...sealant only on the areas i mentioned and no where else....however on my m52 and m54 i offer the gasket onto the valve cover coz there are grooves or longkang on it to put the gasket securely before putting the valve cover onto the head.But your gambar,the gasket look like flat on both sides.maybe the m50 is like that and if that is the case you offer the gasket onto the cylinder head lah...The mechanics use sealant to postively ensure there are no leaks so customers don't have to come back and they don't have to re-do coz time is money.Especially so for older cars where the valve cover may have distorted over the years and sealing may not be as good by just fitting the gasket alone.Macam kalau tukar tayar lah.The mechs will hantam the wheel nuts with an air gun to avoid liability so much so that when a roadside puncture happens kita sendiri pon x boleh remove the nuts with the manufacturer supplied wrench. What I do is I tell the mechs that I will tighten the wheel nuts using the cross bar wrench.These nuts require 70 ft lbs torque ajer.Just tighten criss cross and ketat secukup rasa using the arms.Don't have to put the whole body weight or stand on the wrench.Never had a wheel run away from me while driving yet......</blockquote>
