60 quid for the cam one on the chain engine,just a piece of metal with two holes for locking cams is daylight robbery when all other engines are 20 quid, ive had to strip it down after a foriegn body found its way into no4 cyl, took both sets valves out, full gm head gasket set, genuine valves,also torx socket fell off extension bar when undoing bolts nr chain when withdrawing socket so all the chain cover needs gaskets too again genuine gm ordered so parts list adding up, also going to do the waterpump for good measure as the history on car is unknown, this also needs a locking tool to fit as fits into balance chain set up, i must be mad when a box of matches and gallon fuel so much cheaper
