Well I do like to boot it sometimes That would be a good combo 🙂 the vans due an mot in March and I need to source a wheel n a few bits so maybe if I was to look at booking a hotel for the night somewhere near you in April and in the meantime get the gm chain and everything else from the shop would that be okay?

you can stay over here 🙂
and matt sells the gm chains also

If you let me know a few days in advance what you want, I can get everything sorted for when you are ready.

Just had the pleasure to have Carl yesterday here and fit my chains.i was really disappointed in the car after it broke down and the garage quoted me £2000 to get it fixed,but evocarlos done a brilliant job and now I'm happy again with my car.not only that he made the car to run again after 3 and a half months but he even spent a lot of time to explain to me every step of the process
Now I have my car running again and I also know a lot more about it
Thank you Carl for your effort
Cheers

I fitted an fai cam chain kit on mine ,and a fai balance chain on the missus .not had any issues whatsoever .ive also re fitted both kits on an astra cab which someone lese cocked up they were also fai kits

Another top job Carl (y) Keep doing them at this rate and your new build will soon turn around 😉

if your sceptical about the chains get a gm main chain (the important one) then the fai balancer chain its only £67 from matt
i can travel but it will cost you the fuel money 🙂

Hey Carl,

could you pop over to my place, than? It's only 17.000km or thereabouts....

Hope my engine is as easy a fix as this one.

Best regards

Marty

Matt

@[deleted] is pretty clued up on the Z22SE over there

Hey Carl,

well, a bed and ham sandwiches for the duration of your stay I can afford - flights might be a different story...:whistle:🙁

Thanks for the offer, I shall PM if I run into issues but will definitely post my progress here for others to see.:watching:

I'm sure with the help of people on here, you'll be able to sort it yourself (y)

Hi all,

its been a while so I thought I give you an update as to what is going on down under.

Can you see what is wrong with this picture? :whistle:

Obersturm

Looks like the donk wanted to modify itself to a decent oiler hole?

Obersturm

So did the valves have slight contact with the piston?

evocarlos

just a mere scratch i could fix that 🙂

center punch the broken bolt drill and ez-out on it
remove bent inlet valves remove cracked inlet valve guides
fit new guides and new valves
new head gasket and head bolts
new chains and drive away 🙂
