Burning OIL
Hi all i have a question i am smelling oil being burnt in my engine bay and have tracked the smell to the o/s lower rocker cover bolt or is it the rocker cover gasket gone??? ,as the exhaust manifold is really close to the rocker cover . I think the oil is dripping onto the manifold ,it has Equal Length headers with heat wrap, so if the oil has gone into the heat wrap will the smell go away or do i have to replace the heat wrap as well ????
Has any one else had this problem??
Any help would be great
Thanx Martin

rocker gaskets are a common problem on these cars,places like lateral sell the full kit,dont just do the outer gasket and hope for the best need to do them all,fidgety as theres not much space but i wouldnt have thought youd need to take off the heatwrap as well
