General advice on here is genuine GM from a genuine GM dealership for longevity,although I do believe one or two members on here are trialling aftermarket ones.

Buy GM.  :y

That said I'm considering the supplier dbug used on my 3.2, as that does not do big miles.

GM dealer only. Well trodden topic this one. Historically pretty much everything else fails early, causing damage to the ignition system. Cam covers, or any other, are not a job to do twice in short order.

GM cam covers, o rings and black goo. :)

This is also why it's wise to be on trade club. £70 odd are they?

Thanks for the info,after hunting a bit it seems that Vauxhall owners club as part of their membership do trade club as well.£15 to join normally but they seem to have a technical problem at the moment with membership so suspended if and when it reopens i'll look at joining,this maybe useful to others on here who like me don't know...

Victor reinz makes a good quality gaskets (not just this one, but in general too).
There is a set 15-34268-02, it's quite cheaper than GM original.
