Black rtv, use it sparingly though!

[craig green]

what engine?

[sparky]

E16se

[sparky]

Where do I get that from?

[Asa-James]

any half decent motor factors. if its an 8v engine (too too well up on my engine codes) then there is originally a cork gasket, but its a load of crap

Cam cover, or cam carrier?

Cam cover uses a cork gasket, use a non setting gasket selant like hylomar or similar.

I meant carrier, not up on the terminology.

Personally I'd use the cork gasket from GM, it has a coating on one side. Brush on a thin layer of high temp gasket sealert (so it doesnt ooze out). I dont like Hylomar personally.

I've used Hylomar under the carrier, its OK, but again, high temp gasket sealer is far better. Toolstation do gun sized tube for less than £3.
