How can I find a rocker cover gasket for a 2014 Proton Preve?
Answered by David Morley · 15 Aug 2024

Just because Proton isn’t selling cars in Australia any longer (the brand disappeared in 2017) doesn’t mean replacement parts can’t be obtained. Even if you can’t find the rocker cover gasket you need in a conventional parts store, there are lots of online sellers (both here and overseas) who can supply what you need.

The engine in your car was hardly an orphan, either, and was found in many other Proton models including the Waja, Gen-2, Persona, Saga, Satria and others, so don’t rule out a search for those models too, as the rocker cover gasket should be interchangeable between them.
