Cam cover seals, use genuine Gm items plus o rings from a dealer only. There is a guide.

Coil pack looks ok going by that very poor pic, provided the rubber boot is ok and not softened by the oil. They can split easy then it's fubar.

£70 odd, not on TC, torque wrench with 8nm range and a bungie to hold the cable tray up on pas side. Don't forget the drive by wire plug and the vac/electric plug to rear multi ram.  :y
