Hey all,
 
I’m going to be servicing my 97 Bathurst with the main goal of replacing the rocker cover gasket and low oil level sensor. 
 
I found I need 2 gaskets for the rocker cover
P/n: 1121388460 (outer gasket)
P/n: 1121488460 (small inner gasket)
 
Are there any other parts I need to do this job, gaskets, seals, washers, etc? And any advice for someone trying this for the first time on a SW20?
 
Also with the low oil level sensor, is it simply just undoing the 4 bolts and removing the faulty sensor and replacing it with the new? I couldn’t see anything in the service manual about it.
 
Cheers!

you need toyota fipg to go in the corners of the cam caps and dizzy where the gasket goes to seal properly. you should see where exactly in the bgb. if not I can upload pic.

Thanks just_ace. In these locations? I will have to buy a tube of Toyota FIPG.
 

 

Thats them, also make sure it hospital clean prior to putting FIPG on or it'll never seal.

I used black automotive silicone (can't recall the make and model) and it hasn't leaked. Cleaned thoroughly, wiped with metho so there was no oil etc.

Cheers

Don't buy any Toyota fipg I will save you the $40 and give you a tube. Of its N/A then you will need the intake manifold and surge tank gaskets I think. Either Eric or Danny (DVS_MR2) will be able to let you know I think Danny even has a list of part numbers I got for him a while ago.

Not sure about the Gen3 but on the Gen2 anyway, as well as around the cam bearing caps, it was recommended to me to also put a smear of sealant along the rear edge of the top of the head where oil tends to pool because of the tilt of the motor.
I also put a smear on the head where the inside gasket sits.
With the Gen 2 you can't re-tighten all the holding studs after you refit the intake manifold, so you must be careful to tighten them carefully in sequence, but don't over tighten.

Thanks everyone for the input! I will be ordering the parts soon.
 
Great! nate_p I will hit you up on your offer for the tube, I will be in contact. I will message Eric and Danny and see what they say about the other part numbers.

Hey the part numbers you will need to fix the rocker cover leak are below.. Which I still have sitting here as I have never got around to replacing since planning 3S swaps :)

1 x Rocker cover gasket (main) 11213-88460
1 x Rocker cover gasket (tube) 11214-88460
1 x Intake manifold gasket 17315-88460
1 x Surge tank gasket 17127-88460
10 x washer seal 90210-06013

Thanks for the part numbers Danny!
