Isn't it good to see such a clean engine bay nothing worse then popping the hood on a nice car and it has a filthy engine.

Yeah you should see mine you think with the rubber rocker gaskets it wouldn't leak i can even see the valley is weeping at the front and i used the rubber gasket kit there as well
Might have to go all out dodgy and use some lovely oil pickup blocking sealant.

when we were picking up my mates 304 to assemble (i know the guy that did the machine work) he said to turf the valley cover gaskets (front and rear ones) and just use ultra black .... seems to have sealed alright to me, having said that the engine hasn't cracked 2000kms yet though ... the point is though he reckons the stock gaskets are shit and to just use the ultra black stuff
