Thread: rocker cover gasket blow out??

I'm not sure I want to know the answer to this question after all I've done with Willy's freshen up...but I guess I have to ask it.. The rocker cover gasket keeps blowing out so to speak. I noticed the other other day that oil was bubbling out the side of the rocker cover where it looked like I didn't have the gasket lined up correctly when I tightened the rocker cover up, so I tucked it back in and thought nothing of it. Now this has happened about 3 times, I'm starting to think there is something not right with the crankcase ventilation.. is this a sign that my rings are leaking and there is too much pressure causing it to blow out?? wouldn't bother me so much oil is cheap but it leaks onto the exhaust manifold and stinks!!!!

Cheers, Andy

Cheers Dave, the gasket is a new one... I'll put the rocker cover against the kitchen window, that will tell me if its flat and stir up swmbo pretty good at the same time! I'll check out the thread thats a good point..

The breather seems ok to me... It has a hose that runs to the rear of the car which I think would have somethine to do with emissions control? that could be damaged or blocked causing dramas.. I'll head out now and have a play

Thanks for the advice!!
