A rocker cover gasket is a seal located between the rocker cover (or valve cover) and the engine cylinder head in an internal combustion engine. Its primary function is to prevent oil leaks from the engine, ensuring that the oil remains contained within the engine and does not escape onto other components. Made from materials like rubber or silicone, the gasket also helps maintain proper pressure within the engine. Proper sealing is essential for optimal engine performance and to prevent contamination of engine oil.

A leaking rocker cover gasket and a leaking head gasket are two separate issues that can occur independently of each other. The rocker cover gasket is responsible for sealing the rocker cover to prevent oil leaks, while the head gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block. However, it is possible for oil leaks from the rocker cover to drip down and give the appearance of a head gasket leak. It is important to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle to accurately diagnose the source of the oil leak.

I am assuming you mean "rocker cover" gasket. All you have to do is simply take the cover off, peal away all the old gasket, clean both gasket surfaces, and then use a small amount of RTV silicone in the corners of rubber gaskets (NOT CORK GASKETS) and then re-install the new gasket in place of the old one.

Subject: Sportster 1200 rear rocker coverQuestionI've replaced my front rocker cover gaskets due to an oil leak. Now I can't get the rear rocker cover off. I've removed the top bolts but the frame is blocking the removal of the cover. Is there an easy way to remove the covers?AnswerSorry I didnt answer you sooner. My hard drive decided to go south!The rocker cover will come off without removing the motor. Its a tight fit and you have to turn it to get it out, but it will come out. If you are removing the lower rocker cover you have to remove the pushrods to get it out.Good luck and happy ridingMike
