LS430 - Rocker Head Seal Gasket


Recommended Posts

Hello,

Lots of engine oil on my drive so took it to the mechanic and was told it looks like the rocker seal gaskets (or what ever thy're called) are shot. Probably both sides. 

Got a set off eBay for £45.

Local mechanic says he'll charge £80-£100 for labour.

I'd like to ask if members think the labour charge for this job is okay. Dont want to be ripped off

Thanks

You paid £45 for gaskets of ebay? I remember buying the pair from lexus main dealer for £24 last year

you're right. They do cost around £30 from dealer. 

However, they wanted £30 for the 8 spark plug gaskets. riiiippp ooffff

So I though id pay £45 for a decent pair including the spark plug gaskets

A new problem.  Just got the car back from the mechanic and now the bloody Check VSC light is on!

Whats going on?

I think the Battery thing is worth considering.  It may be worth disconnecting the earth terminal for twenty mins to let it reset or replace if it's getting old.  Failing that a cheap diagnostic scanner should show any fault codes. Also make sure they've connected every electrical connection properly.

Turn the key to the lights, leave for 5 seconds and then off again. Do this 5 times, and it will reset the light
