I have, but local PO is closed, so cannot post until middle of next week at the earliest :(

£10 + P&P if the timescales are any good to you.

"Warped Covers" is quite a popular myth - usually just the gaskets leak due to the breathers being blocked. :y

Gaskets have been changed twice and all breathers cleaned... i never spotted it until i looked from a different angle the other day, the covers bend out a little where the bolts are, telling me that someone previously has tightened them too much.

They were leaking when i got the car so it was probabl done before then, and seein as i have tightened them up to the correct torque when i done them its caused them to leak. Pain in the ass! lol

Cheers guys, will chuck a PM shortly  :y running about like a blue arsed fly at the moment  :-/

if you get a pair of vectra v6 cam covers these are metal ones, not so good looking as the omega ones but still fit none the less!, and you wont get a problem with warped covers again!!! ;D

Remember to replace the o-rings under the bolt holes.
