Years ago I brought a head gasket kit like this ---> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HOLDEN-CO...em 20c65cca5a (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VL-TURBO-RB30ET-VRS-GASKET-SET-/140766923354?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20c65cca5a) Anyway a year ago I was changing camshaft & thought to myself I have one of those laying around somewhere. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
