Leaking Rocker Cover

[Roscoe]

Can any one tell me if i should use a sealer on my rocker cover gasket,its a rd28t,i have just replaced the head and ran the engine and the rocker cover is leaking,i have tighten it down but it still has a slight leak, i don't want to tighten it to much in fear i might break the bolts in the head,its also a new gasket.

when I do put new gaskets on, I use "stag paste" smear it over the gasket and the the other side,,it seems to work pretty good

Ok i will give that a go,thanks for the reply mate,i have never heard of stag paste.

Mine also leaking.
I tried change gasket, then used liquid seal with gasket, doesn't work.
I think mine rocker cover is curved.
May be you have the same problem.

Couldn't get any stag paste so i just used permatex worked perfect no more leaks

i think stag paste has been taken off the market as it has one of those bad chemicals in it
the only reason i know this as a plumber i used it alot
and the plumbing supplier told me this
