This can not be fixed am I right?
I can either put some goo arround or use non OEM gasket that seats in garage... :'( Which option is more probably to work for some time beside none of them? :-[

Yep. :y

What? Goo alone? :o
No, go with the gasket, with sealant only where indicated in the guide. Too much RTV kicking around will find its' way into the oil pickup and then you'll have real problems!
-
No not with goo alone, just to put some excess goo where it's broken. So should I try with non OEM gasket there?
-
A non OEM gasket is going to have more chance of success than that broken one
-
Ok , so non OEM goes in...thanks Mark and Kevin :y
-
No, don't try to 'fix' this seal.
As said, if you try mend it with sealant, some of it might get into the cylinder head, and then in oil channels -> than you will se it can get get worse).
Get a new gasket. It doesn't need to be OEM, you can use Victor-reinz -> they are as good as OEM.
You should be able to source it whitnih 1 day (if you go to the local parts store today, they sholud be able to get it from main warehouse by tomorrow) -> just make sure it's Victor reinz.
There is a camcover set (2 gaskets, 12 small o-rings), part no: 15-34268-02 (you need 2 sets, one for each head.
PS. I see that you are from Slovenia, so I belive that similar product range is available there as it is here in Croatia -> don't let the store try to convince you to use Erling, corteco, or something else.

Oi neighbour, I have Victor Reinz goo which is excellent, but I need car at 03:00 AM to go to work so I'm just going to use the gasket I allready have in garage. It's a good thing I didn't bin it... :y
-
Oh, I see now, you have a non-OEM gasket in garage :y
From which manufacturer? How long it is stored in garage, and is it in original packing (not opened and exposed to air).
-
How did that happen ???

;D Oh EMD don't go there :P I'm frustrated enough...Didn't even feel when it torn
-
Look on the bright side.. there are worse things you could tear in use and not notice until it's too late ;) ;D
-
Not assebled yet so don't call missfortune please :P
Cover is on, torque set at 8Nm, all done as per guide, crossed my fingers it holds tommorow morning
-
Yes easy to tare , handle gentle like a woman :)
Empty swear box before starting any job on Omega ;D
-
....bad...really bad >:( Leaking as hell... >:(
-
Can you just slap some sealant on the outside temporally for
now :-\
-
It wouldn't hold anyway....I stripped it again , torn a half moon at the back again - it's the goo that is faulty for this damage - sticks like a glue, hardly took a cover off. Luckily I had another pair of gaskets....and 2 pair of covers so it's all together back again....3 hour job - becoming a pro in this >:( Will start it after 9pm to see what have I done wrong this time
