If I need to replace the rocker cover gasket would it be wise to replace the rubber grommet's that the rocker cover bolts go through.
Thanks Phil

Mine lasted about three years. I am replacing the rocker cover gasket, the camshaft bore covers, front and rear,the rear one will be fun. I am also replacing the rubber grommets and the injector loom. I have oil in the loom outside of the rocker cover.

Is your engine lifting ring there?
I took mine off and there are two bolt holes right at the rear RH corner of the head.

The lifting ring is missing
