How much are genuine cam gaskets now , last time i heard they were about £105 a set 

Only because you refuse to get TC

[TheBoy]

and they never fail 

And how many miles they been in the car now

Went in around last September - probably done around 3.5 -4K miles since then

Do some more miles man! I need to change mine soon, so need to know they're good

[TheBoy]

as ive done alot of mods on my engine with very good results and a lot of money thrown at it with custom parts made especially for me,why do vx charge so much for a bit of rubber,where ive actually used other makes and never had a problem,maybe because im using very high performance oil and it gets changed every 3k ,thought please.

I think you'll find most of us here change a around that sort of mileage

I think the oppsers at corby would throw it back at me

Gm obviously dont make the cam cover gaskets .We need to find out the manufacturer

[ted_one]

Yupp..found them in a trade directory......Wun Hung Lo Manufacturing, Wankin China

I think i will stick to my cheapo gaskets if gm 1s are made in china

Both banks should come to less than a fiver.

They probably cost about 20p to produce.

Im waiting for my contact in the usa to confirm how much the cam gaskets will cost from there  Will be very interesting to see how much we are being ripped off over here 

Initial prices come back at $22 which is £14.60 per side

40k on the ones on the 2.6 (about a years mileage), never cleaned the breathers in that time but do change the oil every 3 - 3.5K and the vast majority of my journeys are motorway. Cambelt and auxbelt kits being fitted tomorrow so might clean the breathers. Might!

Elring.  Think that's correct spelling

I keep chucking this up cos i wonder is the way to go.

Spoke to VX on friday and he said Part no 55351456 is £28.55 + Vat

This being the all in one cam cover gasket for the later 3.2 

So why not use that instead for all

Having seen the Elring pattern ones - the ones Autovaux ship as "genuine" - they are very different to the ones supplied by my local GM dealer.

So even if they are Elring, the ones supplied to GM and the ones supplied to the aftermarket channel are not the same.
