Hi guys,
Just a quick question, i have just bought an 84 telstar and there are a couple of things that need to be done. Could anyone explain how to replace the idler bearing and the rocker cover gasket on an 84 Telstar? Bearing in mind that this will be the first time ive done this on any car.. Thanks FM |

rocker cover gasket .take off the air filter
pop off the plug leads undo the bolts holding on the rocker cover (there are 7) lift off the cover use permatex blue or black to seal the new gasket and prevent oil leakage Idler pully a guess because the repair manual is no a good guide!!! argh undo/slacken off the drive belts - the idler pully may have a through bolt or an adjuster set up undo the bolt/ s holding the idler pully in place spanners and sockets are metric 10 mm 12 mm 14 mm... should do the job ok

Forget the permatex remark ... Gasket should be new and fitted DRY ... sealant applied onlt to the corners
Ask any tradesman the bad effects of putting silicone types sealants on neoprene gaskets |
