My tappet head gasket cover is weeping oil, as the gasket is expensive to replace (£36) I was wondering if others have the same issue and if they have a cheaper solution?
The engine oil is 10w-40 if that helps.
Thanks
Mike

Re: Tappet head cover gasket weeping oil
Buy some gasket paper and make your own it's cheap to buy and easy to do
