Has anyone got idea what the price is for genuine full set of cam covers and o rings ?

Ring the dealer for accuracy, but around £80+VAT would be my guess for the gaskets, o rings and black goo

That seems a bit pricey since my local opel specialist is selling OEM 22€ per side so full set around 60€ (£48) including the sealant silicone and o-rings ???

We have sellers her that claim to sell "OEM" cam cover gaskets much cheaper, but unless they come in the GM hologramed packaging, they ain't OEM, and will not last more than a few weeks.

We all moan and bitch about the price of these gaskets, but I changed the cam cover gasket on my Merc C250 last year and it cost about £20.  For the V6 Omega's we need four gaskets so not that much difference really.  ;)

It's still an outrageous ripoff for a bit of rubber though, whichever way you look at it!  ;D

Went faster than we could get them.

I had a set myself that I left in the garage for when I next needed them, only they are not fireproof. Or insured  >:(
