my rocker cover is away being powder coated at the moment, was told to just use any black silicone sealant, i think the stuff iv got is called fixall non solvent sealant. will let you know on friday if it works or not! :0

Thanks for the reply , I was thinking of getting mine powder coated can you let me know of the approx cost ?
My other option was to hand polish it but gods knows how long that will take!

Just seal it up after like the man said

£40 for the rocker cover, £220 in total including my spiders being done.

Do you know the tourque settings for the bolts ?

Sorry dont know torque settings but should think they are fairly low and advisable to to them in stages end to end and side to side.

i asked a dealer, was told >> just mayerk the bastards up tight and check them every now and again as they do tend to come loose from time to time.

right enough when i took it off some of the bolts were easily undone.

If you remove the speed 6 rocker cover use a silicone sealent to reseal as used from new on all of the speed 6 engines, and when tightening the rocker bolts be careful as I have had a few that strip the thread on the head and this means inserts.
