Just got a new rocker cover gasket and sump gasket for £8, is fitting the RCG as simple as undoing the bolts lifting the metal cover off and replacing the gasket?

Sump gasket is a bit trickier than the rocker gasket.
Exhaust downpipe needs to come off, sump drained, and it might need some persuasion with a hammer to get it to leave the block,lol.

All done

Now...how much would a typical garage charge to fit a sump gasket roughly? Got a few quotes of people but seem to be pretty expensive

Got one quote for £40, waiting to hear back from a 2nd garage, thought £40 was pretty expensive or isnt that bad?
