Cam cover gaskets
« on: 06 February 2010, 22:02:10 »
I'm going to do my leaking cam cover gasket as soon as we get some better weather. I've read all about getting genuine ones rather than pattern ones but I just found these on ebay and wondered what your thoughts were?

It's this bit in the description that caught my eye.

The gaskets supplied are not an Aftermarket gasket but made by Elring Klinger, a supplier to Vauxhall.

Save yourself loads of headaches and go to the dealers mate.
I have heard a few people say that not everything from your link was genuine ;)

Indeed they are a supplier to Vx (at least headgaskets)....but as far as we can tell, they dont supply the cam cover gaskets!
