c20xe 2 sump gaskets ???

[squirrel-designs]

just been looking around my car and noticed there is a slight oil leak coming from the sump, iv looked and theres 2 sump gaskets together could this be the problem?

All the original cork ones are like that, take it off and fit a rubber one

[mayhem]

get a x20xev one, and use 8v bolts

[*Dave*]

or use the chris astley motorsport uprated one, mine has never leaked since (touch wood).lol

[mayhem]

let me guess... CA one is a bonded c20xe gasket, instead of the loose ones the dealer sells?

it looks like 2 rubber 1s together. what car is the x20xev from?

[squirrel-designs]

also whay would i have to use 8v bolts?

[Sloth]

8v bolts are shorter, if you use the xev or 2.0 8v one with xe bolts they bottom out and bugger the studs. you sure yours hasnt been gobbed up with silicone.

i dont think so it dosnt look like its had silicone but i could be wrong unsure until i remove it tomorrow. where would i get some 8v bolts? and also what car does the x20xev come in so i can try and get a gasket tomorrow. thanks for the help

is the x20xev the same engine used in the vectra sri 140?

lol thats what i thought. so the cris astley 'uprated' c20xe gasket is just a x20xev one.

x20xev is: rubber-plate-rubber, in one piece.

iirc vectra's are x20xev's

[Adam]

Yes 2.0 16v ecos are x20xev's
