it is an 8v gasket mate they just list it as an uprated one for the xe which is utter ****ing bollocks lol lol
Well after taking they advise of djbrowney and Dar i decided to pop to sure parts after work tonight, and i got my self a baffle with gasket, oil filter, some sealer, and lock tight.
Got the old one off

No between pics, as it's a ball ache to do this anyway lol
So i put sealer on the pickup pipe/and plate ware it attches to the pump (the O ring was fine, but applied sealer too) and attached it.
Then sealed the bottom end, then placed the baffle/gasket into place, and put the sump up and slowly added the bolts with thread lock on.

Then took the old filter off and drained the cooler.

Job Done! i hope, I'll find out tomorrow when i replace the filter and put new oil in.
Then I'll fit my manifold back on and try it, FINGERS will be crossed lol

So you're using the 8v/ectec gasket with baffle in? You know the bolts will need to be shorter yes? As there's less in the "sandwich"
Well lets hope not, as the rubber gasket is allot thicker then the two cork ones i had bought to fit, and it's on now! :eek:
No, it is smaller. If you by the vauxhall item they give you shorter bolts.
You might need to pop then out and put washers on. Think I used m6x20 on might and 3still leaked a lil.
Oh balls...........
Best go get some washers! lol
Just do it one at a time..lol
You don't need sealer with a rubber gasket either.
Thought you where ment to over the oil pump end join and crack ends join? Thats what i was told.. And did.
Yeah a little bit there but definitely not all the way round.Quote:
