How do I find the engine number sorry to be thick lol

astra22bertoneauto · April 3, 2012

Lift off the engine cover and its on a white label attached to the cam cover on the airbox side. if not it should be on the logbook

Cool have to let you know later mate as I'm in work lol

glenn · April 3, 2012

What do you reckon then mate ?

If you have no history at all with the car then its peace of mind, you dont know how well or poorly the car has been treated before you got it. But they are not cheap to replace thou.

What condition was the oil in when you got it?

glenn · April 4, 2012

Seemed ok was going to do another change this weekend maybe its something we could look at if your not busy two heads better than one lol

Changing it now will be alot cheaper than changing a snapped one and repairing all the resulting damage. Definitely worth doing if you plan on keeping the car on a long term basis.

Warranty?? They are genuine GM timing chain kits, but that's about it. We can't guarantee if you fitted it correctly or not.

Chains not problem is it ? Its the rubbish tensioner isn't it ? Saab ones better ? Can't I just change that

Matt · April 13, 2012

They come with the new tensioner as standard now. We sell a few Z20NET tensioners as well, so it's entirely up to you.
