they do fit but access to filler is restricted if not impossible to use

Have you cleaned the breather's , it will keep blowing the seals if they are blocked

Yes, they can be fitted, but its a bodge IMHO.

They will stop camcovers leaking.  Ever noticed how Vectra V6s have more crank seal failures though? The 2 are linked ;)


I'd recommend a full breath clean, and correct replacement of the gaskets.
