Title: Cam cover gasket part number.
Post by: jonny2112 on 29 September 2012, 11:30:11

Lifted the gaskets out of the boot of Mrs2112's car last night and dropped them in the man cave for fitting tomorrow, in case she was going out.
Was just about to have a look at the guide and noticed the part numbers at the top. From memory, the part number on the label for my gaskets ends in 456, which is not the same as in the guide. I appreciate they could have changed since then, but before I open these packets, or more importantly start stripping down the motor, can anyone please confirm the correct part number please? (Y26SE)

Cheers  :y

Does this help. Tap picture to view both part numbers. Looks like 55351456 is the 2 x one piece.

Part number is 55351456 but if you have the earlier gaskets ( 2 either side instead of 1) they will still fit :y

Cheers guys, that's put my mind at rest a bit anyway.
I'll check when I get home to confirm  :y
