Hi all,after checking and cleaning the breather system I now need to do the rocker gaskets,any suggestions of where to buy?are Elring ok?or should i go for vauxhall as the prices seem to vary quite a bit on the different manufacturers ,also the black sealent same question?Thanks

Avoid elring like the plague, go gm

[joff]

I always use main dealer parts, prices are higher but out last the others

General advice on here is genuine GM from a genuine GM dealership for longevity,although I do believe one or two members on here are trialling aftermarket ones.

I want to be sure to order the right part,so do all 4 look the same?as they appear mirror image like as in 2 different gaskets per side?Thanks

Buy GM. 

That said I'm considering the supplier dbug used on my 3.2, as that does not do big miles.

GM dealer only. Well trodden topic this one. Historically pretty much everything else fails early, causing damage to the ignition system. Cam covers, or any other, are not a job to do twice in short order.

GM cam covers, o rings and black goo.

Just had a quote for gaskets,O rings and sealent= £114.52 its easy to see why people would chose other gasket makers!!!

This is also why it's wise to be on trade club. £70 odd are they?

That's handy to know and how does one join the Trade club?

Thanks for the info,after hunting a bit it seems that Vauxhall owners club as part of their membership do trade club as well.£15 to join normally but they seem to have a technical problem at the moment with membership so suspended if and when it reopens i'll look at joining,this maybe useful to others on here who like me don't know...

Victor reinz makes a good quality gaskets (not just this one, but in general too).
There is a set 15-34268-02, it's quite cheaper than GM original.
