The Zetec rocker cover in my Escort is getting a little...dirty looking, and I bought a tin of high temperature spray paint today so I could spruce it up.
It's not some crazy boy racery blue to match my blue Samco hoses, just a plain black.
I'm going to take it off and give it a good scrub with various nasty chemicals and a wire brush to clean it down, then spray it with this paint.
Anyway - to the point, is it OK to just reuse the gasket already in place, providing it doesn't tear or bugger up when the cover is removed?
Obviously I'll make sure I torque all the nuts up again correctly.
Cheers for any advice.
Ta, G.
