I'm amazed nobody has told you to get proper ones from Vauxhall, that way you won't have to do them again in a few months.. (Which is the usual response to "Where should I get rocker gaskets from?" ;))

I have just read this thread and did wonder myself  :D

I can't remember if it was Autovaux that didn't supply peoplewith genuine parts like it suggested.... someone will no doubt say if I am wrong...

Get Genuine ones mate from Vauxhall plus O rings.... if you keep engine oil changed and breathers kept clean about 100,000 miles they should last.... stuck my neck out there  ;D

Yes, it was auto vaux who were I think supplying Elring ones.

Now Elring do supply GM with gaskets but, not the cam cover ones!

Just ask Autovax for the price on the GM ones, I'm sure they can deliver them.
Did that for my cranksensor, and they even had the sensor in stock, but not listed on their web site.
6 days later, the sensor and DIS pack arrived on my doorstep in Norway, and low and behold, a genuine GM cranksensor  :y

On the under side of the rocker cover where the bolts go through the cover. You'll find the originals will be pot hard now.  :y :y
