Hi not sure whether this is the right place to post but I am chasing some advice with regards a recent visit to the mechanics where a rocker cover was meant to be replaced.  Apparently the wrong one was supplied and so they used a sealant.

When I have arrived home the last few times, there has been a bad smell emanating from the engine.  Like smoking sealant.  Is this a normal fix for this situation.

This is the description of work

Unbolt the rocker covers

Remove the leads

Unbolt engine mounts, lift motor

Removed the rocker covers, clean surface

Refit rocker covers with sealant

Refit engine mounts and leads

Washed down under motor

Another strange thing with this is there was dust everywhere still all over the engine cavity.  Would they have completed this operation from a pit or would they have used a hoist?

Thanks .. appreciate any advice.
