Perhaps you should consider another cover from one of our breakers, just in case, before wasting more gaskets?

[scottambrose]

Any ideas where I can get one ebay only has the rh side are they expensive new?

[TheBoy]

Try a breaker here. I might even have one.

[scottambrose]

Il have to try pkenty of.black sealant for.now ive got a 400mile trip thursday

[jonny2112]

No, don't do that! I think the general rule is that sealant is only used sparingly and at certain points, as per the guide 

[scottambrose]

are all the cam cover gaskets the same. ie 2.5 3.0 2.6 3.2 v6. the parts numbers on the how to are for the two seperate gaskets per bank which is what ive fitted to my 2.6. but someones just mentioned a 2.6 with one complete gasket.

If your gasket is pretty new (and genuine GM) you should be ok to reuse it.

.ive been offered a new cam cover but he said the gasket was one complete gasket not 2 seperate ones. i wasnt aware of any variations

[jonny2112]

I think the gaskets now come as one piece (my last one did anyway) but it is actually two gaskets joined together - like an old Airfix kit, if you know what I mean?
You just need to separate the two parts

[scottambrose]

i must of been given old stock as my vx gaskets were two seperate ones.

There is an o ring in the filler neck base. Seen these leak before.

And no. The sides of the cam cover are not straight. Yours is normal ime.
