I got a pair of straight cam covers of sorned 3.0 omega just a mile away. Took it off and replaced those with mine. After 5 hours transplantation is done and holding well for now. I took a short drive and no smell of oil or smoke coming out of the bonnet.... Crossed my fingers to hold for long time :D

Takes a while for all the residue to burn off , i bought an adjustable mirror on a telescopic stick thing to keep a check on any leaks  :)

Think 2.5\3.0 are different to 2.6\3.2 due to coil pack cut outs?
 stands back awaits proving wrong post :P

Yes, eight bolts, all in the same place, the coil pack cut outs allow easier plug access and allow any condensation to evaporate out as the engine warms up...

Gaskets fit as well.

Remember that the 3.0 was sold elsewhere as a Dbw engine... ::)
