when i removed my sump there were 2 gaskets - 1 each side of the baffle plate
they also had little metal studs inthem both sides of the bolt holes

so when i buy a new bottom end gasket set will the ones i need be in there?
or will i have to buy the sump gaskets seperate and also a bottom gasket set for the others i will need ?

or what do u recomend ? seen rubber and cork gaskets too

any brands better than others? or best get GM sets? or are the cheaper ones on ebay ok ? ( also for top end gasket set )

Thanx

iirc the gasket comes in 2 pieces for the 1 price. Personally I find them garbage and replaced them 3 times on my Astra and they all leaked.

On the Corsa I have plumped for the 2ltr 8v gasket. It comes in 1 bonded to the baffle plate.

Autovaux are probably best for it.

Like I said it comes as a baffle plate with the rubber gasket bonded to it.
You chuck the baffle plate fitted to your engine now and replace with the 8v item.

Na the baffle plate fits inbetween it the gaskit is all in 1 not 2 halfs

You can buy just the rubber gasket for a few quid and use your old baffle plate thats what i did

if you buy the 1 piece unit, you will have to shorten your sumpbolts
