Title: Very quick rocker cover gasket question
Post by: Johna on 07 November 2011, 19:39:48: Hi All

Looks like I need to do my rocker cover gasket and need a quick bit of advice. I know I should be using the Vauxhall part but I need to get it done tomorrow and the only place with the part in stock is Eurocarparts. They said they have them in stock but there are two choices, one where it looks like it is a single side, and one where there appears to be two sides joined together like a butterfly.

I have a 2001 2.6 CD. Which gasket should I go for? I want to start by just doing the passenger side first if thats possible?

Thanks

John

They reckon they "might" be able to have another set by the end of the week. Is it possible to do one side at a time? I believe it is only the passenger side blown.

They have the O-rings in sealant in stock ;D

PM 'andyc' here and see when he can get you a full set? He knows what's needed and he'll give you a good price (probably better than your dealer as some stuff isn't on TC)
