        Friends
I am having an awful time trying to source a simple rocker cover gasket for an 02Jimny fj 1.3 16v petrol with a K series head. Everyone i search has the typical Erling, Corteco, Stark etc etc and they are all the same which is in fact about 3 inches too long for a K cover. Does anyone have a secret supplier for these. Thanks in advance from a non technical driver

        Sorry for not understanding what your engine is.
The 02 Jimny usually have the 1.3 m13a engine.
The rocker cover gasket is the same on all/most M-series engines
The K-series head, is that from a Suzuki K engine for the japanese/asian markets?
Where are you based?
Most likely more easy to get the gasket from markets where these engines are sold.

        As far as I know, a Jimny with a 1.3 engine will have either a G13 or an M13 engine, also, again as far as I know, Suzuki didn't make a K13 engine.
Perhaps post a picture of your engine, or even the engine number so that we can help identify it.

        I am in the UK but yes its a Japanese build engine (hence why I understand it's a K) but strangely it has UK plates, doesn't show as an import and on all the parts search engines using the UK reg it come back with it should be a G or an M and rocker gaskets are plentiful ........... so something has either transplanted or improved the head at some point
