  • Lose camshaft wheels?

    Nabend Forum. I have now made my C20XE and want to take the head off. So I have now finished everything down timing belts V-belts away and valve cover is also down. so far so good. Now in the clever book (Opel Astra F self-help or so it is called) I should now take off the camshaft wheels by holding with a matching hexagon key to the wheel. But I don’t understand that because I thought this one hexagon screw fixation for the wheel i I hope you can help me get the two wheels down. LG and thank you so much

  • Manta B 12V?24V? or only 4 cylinders?

    I’ve been thinking about which engine I should pack in my 76 Manta B for years and days. I’d love a 6-piece but then I’m thinking about head load, performance, durability of the powertrain and the ease of maintenance (yes, actually you shouldn’t worry about this when you remodel it, but you don’t have to expand the engine for a spark plug change?! doesn’t have to be ) Here’s a small list of the engines I’m getting ready for. t has: 12V 3.0l + cheap to get + sounds better with weavers than the rest of the selection + more durable to drive on more engine capacity than the 24V (Imotec offers nice things) + cheaper to do when compared 24V – old engine ( tuning parts rare ) – power output 24V 3.0l + power + more potential when tuning + more revolving than the 12V – purchase more expensive – tuning parts very expensive 2.4er 8V + fits wonderfully + less weight + many tuning parts available – has everyone – just 4 cylinders – the 240hp I would like to have a little hard to reach I would like to hear your pros and cons on the topic.

  • Camshaft symmetrical or asymmetrical

    Hello everyone, I guess I’ll have to install a new camweller soon. My question: What’s better a symmetric or an asymmetrical? I’m driving a c14SE would take a little more power then too but shouldn’t go too much on the idle characteristics thinking about a 276° or something, maybe one of you has some tips that he can give me and what it brings!! Greeting Karsten

  • Oil consumption at 1.6 16V

    Hello all, I drive an Astra G 1.6 16V 74 kw mileage 97000 km. I have an oil consumption of 0.5 liters to 1000 km. The Opel workshop mine, which is still in tolerance. Well, my former Vectra B, Astra F did not consume oil. Does anyone have experience with the 1.6 16V? Greetings

  • Oil consumption X20XEV

    Hello, I’ve already read a lot about the topic here, but it doesn’t really help me any further. My Omega needs good oil for a few months, about 1L on 3,000 km. Lt. Opel would still be normal, but until then I didn’t have to fill anything between the oil changes at all. In addition, the immense smoke cloud disturbs at the start, if the car has stood for a long time. I guess it’s the valve shaft seals and after studying the contributions here, I had already run through them. But: The FOH now informed me that to change the valve shaft seals now the head has to go down – no longer as before only the camshafts out and secure the valves with compressed air! For this I was given about 1,200 euros in advance (probably net). That blows you, material value of the seals a few euros. The car has about 140,000 km on it and is now 10 years old. The following questions: – worth a repair? – there are workshops, which have the seals. change still according to the “old” method? – other hints (please none in the kind: drive ́continue so, 3 L are normal). Thank you and greeting Gau

  • Scrambles Fabric Tape

  • Calibra V6 compression (c25xe)

    Hello I’m just new here in the forum and I have a problem with my Calibra V6. The engine clacks quite loudly (but seems to be only on one cylinder) and it runs quite unevenly, especially in the stand hear and notice it extremely. That’s why I had a compression test done. Cylinder 1 = 14.1 bar Cylinder 2 = 10.1 bar Cylinder 3 = 12.1 bar Cylinder 4 = 11.8 bar Cylinder 5 = 12.9 bar Cylinder 6 = 12.0 bar In my opinion, the loud clacking comes exactly from the Zyli I’m actually typing on the valves myself, is that possible? The workshop said that it’s probably not the piston rings. What do you think of the compression values at all, are all quite far apart. Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

  • x20xev – Tuning

    Hallows I drive an Opel Astra G 2.0Liter 16V. With the x20xev engine. What is there for cost-effective possibilities to increase the acceleration or the Ps number of the engine ? There is also the Astra OPC with 160 Ps, is this not almost the same engine with other software ? From a speed of approx. 170 km/h the car starts to become a little too shady, there are still possibilities to make something on the chassis ) (should everything after possibility relatively swinging h his) Come from Dinslaken (46539), someone knows how to get started for any tuning parts or modifications in Duisburg, Oberhausen etc. ? Found the following today : http://cgi.ebay.de/…6V-Motor_W0QQitemZ290266451027QQcmdZViewItem?… Would this part bring something because it is not so expensive now (so far…) Thank you Sebastian
