I know the aftermarket bolt on rocker covers have a reputation for leaking However at the show today i spotted some alloy ones that held on with spring clips akin to the original vw design Does anyone know if these type are renound for leaking as i was quite taken by them for the paravan
No these were alloy ones with a different shape to the original preesed steel ones Im not a fan of chrome but a bit of polished alloy i do like On a escort xr3 i owned i fitted an alloy rocker from a rs 1600i and i was pleasently suprised how much it dulled down the noise from the top end compared to the standard pressed steel one and it polished up a treat
Yeah it was the ribbed cover dude I fitted a 1800 cvh sierra rocker gasket to it aswell The standard cvh cork rocker gaskets were awfull for leaking but the sierra got silicone rubber ones with brass inserts and these werent often replacement items like the cork ones I had no fingerprints on most of my fingers polishing that rocker cover though Ive never seen aftermaket alloy rockers with spring clips before either thats why they caught my attention today I wonder if there relativly new
Link please dude I guess im going to have to see if there any good and report back to let everyone else know this time
Sorry I have difficulty posting links from fleabay using my ipad because I use the app which means you don't see the web address, plus I couldn't be arsed last night In work today on a proper PC so here are the links Paradude & yes let us know if they perform as I would also like a set & have them on my huge list of nice to have parts for making my camper look good rather than on the required/dropping off list http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Camper...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c258cf33a http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-BEETLE...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19cf654b2b http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T1-Bee...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5653aff936 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-cli...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a79ecb9bf The first two links are from the same seller & the packaging looks empi style but not sure as they don't mention they are empi, the third is megabug who I have had parts from before & been quite happy with the service & quality, the forth I've not dealt with before...

Mine is fitted with bolt on alloy finned covers.I have had no problems with leaks but this could be because i have a breather box fitted.
I'd only use stock ones to be honest. I tried 2 different types and both leaked. Ordered stock from Heritage and had no more problems.
The Scat rocker covers are pretty nice too!! Stainless and the fit is spot on http://www.coolairvw.co.uk/Item/Sho...600cc_SCAT_Stainless_Steel_Rocker_Covers.html
Hi, did you fit the breather box setup yourself? Could you show me some pics and run through what equipment is used & whats connected to what etc. Thanks. Robo...
Hi Robo.Its a bugpack one,you need to mount the box higher than the oil filler extension and two pipes go too the rocker covers.Some people braze in the mountig pipes others bolt them in these should come in the kit. the third pipe goes into the oil filler pipe or you can tap into the crankcase.
