Title: Cam cover gaskets.
Post by: Bigron on 04 February 2019, 14:13:07
My nearside cam cover is leaking a little oil onto the exhaust manifold (I think), so please may I ask what the current thinking is regarding sources of new gaskets, please?

Payen have been used to good effect iirc... Readily available  ;)

Just double check that the cover itself is still true as they are prone to warping if overtightened ;)

What he said - warping can be due to age and cycles regardless

I used the Victor Reinz ones supplied by All German Parts  . . .been on about 9 months now . .

no issues at all & would have now doubt recommending these   :y :y :y. .

As I recall about £30  for both banks  . . which is about a 1/3 of GM ones  ::)

I agree with the victor reinz and the black GM sealant ,also worth checking oil filler neck that has a gasket as well  :y
