At last cam covers done today. Gaskets and o-rings were brittle, with 5 of the 6 plug wells full of oil - suprised car was running ok with no misfires!!
Drivers bank fitted with Payen gasket set from allgermanparts and gm o-rings, and passenger bank fitted with a gm gasket set and gm o-rings. As stated before the Payen set feels as supple and pliable as the gm set, and the fit to the cam cover was same for both types.
Time will tell!! - will update Payen performance vs gm as mileage increases ;)
Plug wells cleaned out, coil packs cleaned up, and new plugs fitted - still got a smoke screen when started up, but cleared reasonably quickly.

Excellent :y Ive done 1000 miles so far on non genuine cc gaskets , they were very supple unlike any bought before . Used a different method of fitment ;) Parts were £16 for a full set .

Ohhhh you pair of rebels ;D, never had issue with patten gaskets myself so fingers crossed they are both ok :y

Remember the first rule of pattern parts.

Dbug has said previously that he will test these on the drivers side on behalf of forum to see if they are any good.

Yup,keep us updated dbug :y
Worth checking plug wells on a monthly basis, and also around the outside edge and the back (by the half moons).
Thanks :y

No probs - cars done 250 miles today - no issues with oil loss (although never had to top up oil in past, even with the leaking gaskets!!) and plug wells still clean. :y

Watching this with interest :D

Haven't looked at mine on my 4potter but do they also need o rings and where are these o rings?

Yes - sit just under cam cover where the bolts go through

Ok, thanks for that. Had thought it would just be the gasket to swap. Shall check mine when I do the pollen filter.

Payen used to be a quality product thought they had gone the same way as Quinton Hazel. :-\
