I can't find any of these of TC website. Does that mean they are retail price only?

Yes it does Steve. Either retail or trade if you can blag it from your Dealer

Thank you

I shall see if they will do me trade, but they were not that keen on TC!

I do know a man who has a pair of brand new X engine cam covers if you are interested.

With a Y32 and Z28 now these are surplus to requirements and the pair will be cheaper than the £120ish they are likely to cost you each.

There was a dude who was real world testing some pattern cam cover gaskets that were about £5. Anyone remember that?

[omega3000]

I thought genuine were £40 ish each from Mr Vauxhall

Yes so did I. Although prices have gone up since. Probably nearer £100 now on trade are they?

Think that includes o rings, but maybe not black goo.


There. Nice precise factual post. Not

Now , its probably been discussed but there is a Saab V6 i think uses the same engine as the Omega V6 so has anyone tried buying the Genuine Saab ones at a lower price  Just a thought 

Edit : Just spotted the engine , its true 

[VXL V6]

Pretty sure the SAAB version of the V6 is the 3.0 version, later engines (2.6 and 3.2) have different gaskets.

Thought they were all the same

My opinion same as EMD . . . 2.5   3.0  2.6  & 3.2   all the same 

[omega3000]

Saab cam gasket price is wanted then 

[Jimbob]

I think there are 2 versions, effectively compatible, you just bridge a small part with cam cover sealant if using the older gaskets on the newer engines.  Using new on old engines doesnt matter.  From a long dredged up memory.

The actual cam covers themselves, not gaskets, just to clear that up

Theare TWO types of gaskets, with the 'later' gaskets the two 'halfs' are joined together, they can be split for the earlier X covers, but as above if its the older 2 part are used on the newer Y & Z engines it will need a gum up bodge
