ahhhh! thanks, helpful and educational. That a great info.. Il use a drop to secure in place like you've said and go from there. After all its not a ball ache to take off so id rather do too little than too much if you get me!The note states "Not EU3 Model". Early TD5 engines were compliant with an earlier version of EU regulations and were EU2 compliant. These engines from 1998 are called 10p engines from the engine number sequence. Your 2003 engine is probably a 15p engine and if so would be EU3 compliant. Thus you should probably not be following the note in the manual.
That said, the issue with the rocker gasket is that the complex shape around the semi-circle has a tendency to dislocate from the gutter whilst you are trying to fit the rest of it. This can be difficult to spot and would cause the leak you seem to have. A tiny drop of sealant just to hold it in position, would probably be fine.
It’s on the page of the workshop manual that Neilly posted But good to point out anyhoo.Know one has said this but fit the gasket to the top cover not on the engine
Indeed but some folk don’t follow manuals they create there ownIt’s on the page of the workshop manual that Neilly posted But good to point out anyhoo.
