MK3 12v - Will these rocker cover grommets be ok?

Whitaker · Post by **Whitaker** » Tue Mar 08, 2016 10:06 am

I have recently had my rocker cover back from pain and the original grommets were damaged. Unfortunately my new gasket did not come with the grommets. It took 3 weeks to find a gasket for the 12v. Honda only had 5 and none of the were in the UK, BGA had a 4 week wait and Blue print had similar delays.

I do however have a 16v gasket set which includes the grommets. After closer inspection they appear to not have a neck on them.

Please could someone confirm if the grommets from the 16 valve will be ok.

For anyone who comes across the same issue in the future. After putting the 16v grommets into the 12v rocker cover I would not recommend using the 16v grommets.

I ended up glueing the neck back on the 12v grommet that was broken.

I also ordered a ew set from honda.
