Old version Hyundai Trajet Rocker Cover Gasket














Today let's have a look in an interesting rocker cover gasket from Korea Hyundai model, it is a gasket taken out from the Trajet model, in Malaysia market, if customer looking for Hyundai Trajet gasket, normally it is similar to the Hyundai Sonata 5 of gasket, but this time it caught us by surprise, the gasket is actually similar to the one in Naza Citra or Hyundai Elantra 1.8. 

In the content of the top set gasket, all gasket are same except the rocker cover it give us some headache, I almost can't find any info on this rocker cover gasket info when I Googling around, until I change the searching direction by looking for the rocker cover itself, only then found that there are a type of aluminium type rocker cover for Hyundai Tiburon model, which it show the rocker cover and the gasket which is same to the used gasket.

It may be just the very first batch of this engine is using aluminium type of rocker cover and it change to plastic type rocker cover for the later version. At the time of writing, I still don't know what is the OEM part number for this rocker cover gasket, it will be nice if who know the part number can put a comment in this post.
