[Bacon Butty Man]

My mobile mechy came round to replace the rocker cover gaskets, he is a good mechanic, the gasket set i was given turned out to be for a c2.5xe not a x2.5xe engine, so any way, have to wait til tomos for the replacement, the mechanic has just phoned me as he thinks my engine is not a 2.5L but a 3.0L as the gasket set for the 2.5 comes with 2 seperate banks for either side, the 3.0l has the 2 banks joined, is there any way to tell if its a 2.5 OR 3 LITRE, ALL MY PAPER WORK SAYS 2.5, MY MECHY SUSPECTS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A BIGGER LUMP PUT IN IT.
the car is currently in bit in the drive not for long tho

The camcover gaskets are the same for the 2.5 and 3.0

The Vectra camcover gaskets have a web joining the two halves.
Omega ones are separate.
