ill reserve my judgy comments until after providing helpThe mice that live int he shed scratched away at the gasket for the rocker cover on the lawn tractor, at least I'm assuming that was it. Either way, the gasket ain't gasketing anymore and oil is very slowly seeping out.
So I ordered up new gaskets from MTD, along with new rocker covers just in case, it's all cheap parts, so fuck it.
My question is, once I get the rocker cover and old gasket off:
A) what should I use to clean the surface of the engine block/cylinder head, whatever the rocker cover attaches onto.
B) what, if anything, should I apply to the surfaces to make the gasket do its thing.

It's due for its oil change anyway, so kinda good timing. Gotta drain it anyways. Change the fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, etc.
A) razor blade and carb cleaner
B) Nothing, but you can apply a thin coat of a grease to make it not stick so bad next time you replace it
why would you have to remove the rocker cover to change the oil
goddamn, your new shit breaks constantly.
