Very quick rocker cover gasket question
« on: 07 November 2011, 19:39:48 »
Hi All

Looks like I need to do my rocker cover gasket and need a quick bit of advice. I know I should be using the Vauxhall part but I need to get it done tomorrow and the only place with the part in stock is Eurocarparts. They said they have them in stock but there are two choices, one where it looks like it is a single side, and one where there appears to be two sides joined together like a butterfly.

I have a 2001 2.6 CD. Which gasket should I go for? I want to start by just doing the passenger side first if thats possible?

Thanks

John

At great personal risk to my health (from the missus  :D) I have delayed starting the job to hunt down some genuine Vauxhall parts, following everyones advice to stay away from the pattern parts, and I have found one set in the whole of the North East. They reckon they "might" be able to have another set by the end of the week. Is it possible to do one side at a time? I believe it is only the passenger side blown.

They have the O-rings in sealant in stock  ;D

You can do one side at a time (I did the drivers - easier - side first, personally. Still haven't done the passenger side  :-[ :-[)..

PM 'andyc' here and see when he can get you a full set? He knows what's needed and he'll give you a good price (probably better than your dealer as some stuff isn't on TC)

Yep, seconded. If they are available he'll find them, at a good price. :y
