Dam you must have really tried to do it up tight. I think the manual says 18nm so not much at all
Was using a 3/8" ratchet so mustve just put a bit too much into it

Finally changed my rocker cover gaskets in my V7 wagon. Process wasnt too bad but i made some silly mistakes....oops
Mistake #1: gasket wasn't seated in the groove properly on the bottom so oil leaked EVERYWHERE when i started it up and it got oil pressure. Off everything comes again
Mistake #2: Snapped a rocker cover bolt inside the head....DOH! *cue expletives* Out comes the drill and the easy outs....didnt work. so helicoil it was. That worked thankfully
Anyway after two days its all done and im just that little bit closer to being prepped for the Megameet in a few weeks
Heres the pool of oil...
and heres that damn snapped rocker cover bolt
Lesson learned....ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH!!!!

That's a pretty good price for all that. I paid 86 nzd for the same stuff from partsouq but had to wait a week and wasn't 100% sure if i had ordered the right gaskets . ( I had ordered the right gaskets, but still...)
Yeah i was going to do the same but i got mine the next morning and i ordered it at 4:30pm yesterday. Helps when you have a friend that works at Wingers

Ive only owned a few but having my First WRX has made me appreciate what i have and treat it like my own pot of gold. Obviously i drive it and it is my daily but im not really the skids or heli type person cause i dont want to ruin what i have. I do buy and sell some cars for a profit but depending what it is i generally take care of it and try to hold onto it as much as i can
