So, I went out to buy a new gasket for it, costs about RM40 a piece. The SOHC cover is much much cheaper but whatever.
Starting to work on the car…. it is not necessary to remove the air filter, but i was working on another project at the same time. Labeled each sparkplug the opened the cover. The cover is quite easy to remove, as all the screws can be seen from the top of the car, except for the 2 screws at the side of the head where the timing belt cover is. Once everything is off, just replace the gasket with a new one, add silicon and put back the same way that you took it out.
I got itchy fingered and wanted to wash my gasket head as it was frikken dirty. Washed with some engine degreaser, available at Pasar road.
I got even more itchy fingered and decided I should freshen up the engine’s outlook. So i sprayed the proton words silver and used a file to grind off the top of the DOHC wording. Gaya tuh! =D
So now, the top of the engine is not leaking anymore. Which is good.
