Clown shoes is why that tuner needs. This can all be fixed in the tune.

Hey mate, have you done a video on removing the sump on this car?

Owner says he's to broke to change oil, suggest a bicycle as a viable replacement.

I have changed mine but abs/trac light still on..pls help

"you may get aaaaaaa.........erererer....."

Love the part where you showed us how it’s done. Very good 👍

Do I have to set the motor at top dead center to change lifters?

Holy!!!..@#$%🤯 Thanks for doing this video mate👍 I was doing some digging before considering quoting a heater core replacement on a 2007, looks pretty much identical to this. Think I better quote at least a few days labour plus A/C de-gas + regas, plus the new core, and consumables etc of course. Let's see how much my customer really wants heat🤣🇦🇺

I just changed my oil on my truck. I change it every 2,000 miles. I also change my filter every time. I do it myself to save money so it allows me to use full synthetic oil.

Legend has it the engine has survived and is back for it's 5 yearly oil change.

My first Holden FC (1970 second hand ) was a breeze. 2 Bolts, Gasket cut from Corn Flakes packet and a tube of Gasket Goo. The Thermostat Part came on a box about the size of a cigarette pack and you could pre-test it in a cup of boiling water before installation. 10 minute job with half a stubby in hand. !!

do you know where i can get a lockout for the cams?

Looking good mate.

Hello. Interesting video. I have a Vectra C with a Z18XE engine. When replacing the timing belt, I used a plastic timing gear lock. In Poland, it cost about 12 euros. It makes the job easier because the wheels are immobilized. Best regards.

How can you not have money for 4 years for a $25 oil change? C'mon man.

this is one of the holes of the village whore.

This video saved me, thank you.

i had watched a video he tried dish washer tablet,who test this method

I know this is an old video but it was of great use to me this weekend when i had to replace mine. You most certainly saved me some time and gave me more confidence to carry out the job. Thankyou

9:20 you're welcome

The timing belt on these actually seems pretty easy compared to most. Once that air box is out of the way there is a lot of room. I wish all engines had that much room to work. Oh, and the zip tie trick is great. I probably would have just shoved something in between the gears if I hadn't seen that.

Dang was really hoping youd mention the torque specs on the Valve cover 🥲😂

Only Japanese can survive this mistreatment.

Always glad to see a grey motor! ❤

It sounds like a bag of spanners. Jesus christ.

Sacrilege!

thankyou for this video very helpful gave me alot of help with my baby stay Blessed my Brother !

SS seats were part of vs bt1 pursuits.looling at speedo,did you notice a little light above speedo?they would be up your ass judging your speed without you knowing it. I had a vs bt1, tylical saleman Selling bs agajn

This is why bonding a lubricant to the inside of your engine is a good idea. That way there is always lubrication even if the owner forgets to change the oil. The oil also lasts longer as less wear occurs. 🙂

G’day mate. Can I ask, how much would a mechanic charge for this job? I think I need mine done. Also, are you in Queensland? I might just bring it to you.

Love ya work mate.

I hope the oil filter has a bypass, not that it would matter much.

Utterly stupid place for the thermostat!

I see the rubber gasket sticking out when u tighten the outlet metal hose ..

Hi, i have a problem that flashing air bag and horn toots when I press cruise control on, obd fault codes B1049 .my car nissan nv 200 model 2012, thank you

U want to sale

Hey champ, i was wondering if u do mobile mechanic? in sydney area i saw ur video, i got an 1990 toyota corolla needing a fuel pump intank.

He’s probably better not even changing it at this point changing the oil will probably blow the motor

I have an fg xr6 that feels like it has sticky brakes. When the cars in the air and you press the brakes, all 4 wheels are unable to be rotated for a good 2 seconds after the brake pedal has been let off. Would making this adjustment to the rod fix this?

Don't drop any cigar ash on the seat...........You never know.

nice

Why didn't you actually show how you put the chain and gears on. I need to know how to get the chain past the tensioner without taking the cam covers off and listening the tensioner bolts up. That's the only way I can see being able to get the chain past the tensioner even with it fully compressed mine has no room to pass over the lip on the tensioner foot.

you have come a long way and soon on the road my 66 hr prem is on the road after 2 year resto happy to see yours come back to life

If you're doing commentry you need to cut out background noise so people can hear what you're saying! Why play music?

Looks great!
