Astra H MK5 Z16XER 1.6 Rocker Cover Gasket Renewal & Spark Plug Change

[@stephenhammond9793]

Bit late but it might be worth changing the crankcase breather valve while you're there.

I was wondering if this car could even start after so much oil around the spark plugs and coil?

Surprisingly yes it did but was very sluggish. Runs great now 😃

Do you think it would be OK to leave the spark plugs alone, change the gasket and get them looked at when it's next in for service?

[@Street_Fitter]

If you take the rocker cover off and the oil has been leaking on to the spark plugs then I would definitely replace them. It's fairly simple to change them anyway and they don't cost much.
