Can anyone pick me up cam cover gaskets on TC?
« on: 28 November 2008, 19:40:36 »

Just been out and spent £200 on tools (Halfrauds) and another £55 on ten litres of 10W40 and an oil filter at my local stealers. :o

I'm preparing myself to do the gaskets, breather clean out and oil change next weekend (6th and 7th), but having got stung for the oil I'm understandably reluctant to hand over more readies to VX right now (not at retail prices, anyway).

Can anybody buy me a gasket set on TC and post it to me? I'll happily paypal cash up front.

As I understand it from the OOF shop that is out of stock, the bits I need are:

    * Rocker gaskets 2 sets: 90511451.
    * O-rings 16 off: 90411826.
    * Sealent, Black (not the Green stuff!) 1 off: 90485251.
    * Breather bridge to plenum seal 1 off: 90467543.
    * Breather bridge to throttle O ring 4 off 90500983.

The engine is a Y26SE - it's an 02 elite.

As I'm doing a breather clean out, do I need any o-rings for that either?

Let me know by PM - I must confess I don't know how much cheaper this kit is on TC as opposed to retail.

Thanks in advance!  :y

U should get a TC - your oil was very expensive compared to TC prices.  You would have got 20 lits of oil + cost of Tc for £55!!!

Now I know! unfortunately I don't have time to get a TC if I want to get the gasket kit for next weekend, hence the request! :y

All dealers should honour the Trade Club card.

I've been a member of Autobahnstormes for about 13 years and have ordered stuff from Andy in Thetford and had it delivered (or via kindly networking).  He is very knowledgeable too.

Andy can be contacted via the Autobahnstormers forum, which can be acessed as a member.
