what would be a good price to have the rocker cover gaskets changed(both sides)
and roughly how long to do it
and who would be best
i got to call some places anyway but i thought you guys might know better

i might even be doing them myself yet but not sure depends on work
getting a price on the gaskets 2moro
does a 94 turbo need the half moon gaskets?
rocker cover gasket l/h + r/h
spark plug gasket x4
bolt seals x 12
any sealant needed?
does anybody sell these as a set?

does the scooby have spark plug gaskets?
And Im not so sure about bolt seals either.
When I did mine Im sure it was just a one piece gasket on each side (99 phase2 uk car).
Squirt of gasket sealent all the way round the original gasket and bolt it up nice and tight.
£10 well spent imho

To the above yes the scoob has 4 spark plug seals and 12 bolt seals these should be replaced when the main cover gaskets are changed as they will be old and squashed and may start to leak once all put back together , best to do it right first time , just make sure the sealant is high temp stuff got mine from AS performance next day delivery , otherwise it will dry ouy and crack due to the heat , only needs a smear.
