you do no this is the parts for a v6 3.2.o to 60 in 7.4 seconds

All V6 cam cover gaskets are the same

They not. Those with a coil pack ie 2.6 & 3.2 gaskets consist of the two halves joined together while the 2.5 & 3.0 use two completely separate gaskets for each side. But that's not to say that the 4 gaskets can't be fitted to a 2.6/3.2

(I have a new 2.6/3.2 rocker cover in the garage I can photo if you like  - or I would if my camera hadn't died))

Not entirely correct, Mr B

Most V6, including most 2.6/3.2 use the same 2 gaskets per bank setup.  The very last of the 2.6/3.2 use the 1 piece gasket.

My 03 3.2 uses the 'standard' 2 piece setup

The join was put in place to stop water ingress. Was discovered as an issue at the engine plant so a bead of sealant was bridged between the two gaskets originally.

Looking at the breakpoint, I doubt any car left the factory with the modified cam cover

I don't think any Omega did, Saturn maybe.

Late 3.2 Vectras maybe?

Or those that have had replacement engines...
