Proper CZcamsr.... No fancy m5 or e63...
@Ryan Hamill yes
You mean proper mechanic. Dmo n llf are proper youtubers. Calling this guyba youtuber is an offence
As much as I don't get Vauxhall's at all, I agree with this. The others are proper CZcamsrs in the literal sense, but it's not exactly within most people's reach!
OK relax
I love how deep into detail you go with things man keep up with the quality videos man massive respect
What detail? Lol, he doesn’t even show one removal or reinstalling process in the video 🤦🏽♂️ When he does it’s on time lapse. Stupid
Aaron making it look so easy. No messing about as per usual.
Top content!
Up for work in about 5hrs and I see Aaron's uploaded a new vid. Ah shite til it, who needs sleep eh.
One of the very best tutorials I have seen ,I like to think I can qualify the comment having been 55yrs in the trade . Very well done .

The things you call keepers are they not called collets?
Cheers 🥃
Yes there called various names. Collets are one of them
@@AaronUnknownPerformance cool everydays a school day and I'm not a mechanic 👍
Yes mate! Loved it!!
Hi. Great video. Where do u get them valve retainers from please?
Hi, When you put the pressure on cylinder one (while changing valve seals) you don't block the crankshaft somehow? Pressure should move your piston down i think? And it will be no longer in TDC?
Top job, as always 👏👌👍
Taking it out of number 1 and putting it in number 2 🤪👀
Top vid Aaron wots you opinion on carbon cleaning for the vxr z20leh I'm getting mixed reviews from everyone keep up the vids bro
Mageion he dropped the keepers in the engine
Honestly fking well enjoyed this 👍
Shitttt...She pulls like a train now like!!!

Greetings! please tell me the length of the belt from the generator to the crankshaft pulley!
I want to redo it bypassing the air conditioning compressor and tensioner!
As always, dogs bollox 🔥 🔥
O kurwa. Dobre 👍
I guna bring my car to yours and leave it with you and make a nice z20leh Astra estate :D
Hi Aaron can you tell me what the torque setting is for the arp head studs for the z20leh?
Amazing and helpful pal don’t suppose u fancy helping me sort my vxr engine out?
What figures is that running it sounds ace.
C'mon Shell give him a sponsor
Where did you got the transparant timingbelt cover
Love this channel, what do you think of the astra g coupe bertone 2.0L turbo
I'm thinking of getting 1 here in South Africa
I fancy owning a gsi one day. Do you build them for customers to buy?
Any link for the cam lock tool ? Or what’s it called
Сделайте с моим опелевким движком 1.2 тоже самое!)
What headlight bulbs are you using please
What cams are you using ?
Great video, out of interest Aaron what would the price of this car be if you sold it?
You can make me an offer. Everything has a price
@@AaronUnknownPerformance Don't want to buy it bud im rebuilding a astra H vxr at the mo, not a full restore tho, you must have spent 20k + on that build, it's a lovely car buddy 👌
@Aaron Unknown How do you make new bumper tabs when they're not aligned correctly and prevent it from being fitted ?
how much power could you run on an hem head gasket?
Hey man, where do you buy the stem seals in the UK? Just wanna make sure I get genuine ones
Buy them from Gm themselves they are not expensive
Courtney Sport had the best price for genuine GM ones, at least compared to my local Vauxhall dealer, come in proper GM packaging.
why dont you use waterless coolant
So clued up
Where i can buy the Tools?
what psi do you use on the pistons with the head on to hold the valve up??
Araon I really need your help please i have a gsi I had a water leak i went to clacton for the Week end I left but checked my water for got to put the cap back on started driving about 17 miles car died I get the top head rebuild skimmed new gasket water pump all that stem seals lifters car started up starting driving for 10 mins left the car on then I heard it splatter and died and piston 2 lost compression. That what happened as my mechanic said can you help me out here what could be the problem now I was thinking rings but he said it sounded to well to be the rings and now it is had started again PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!
I'm not a auto engineer or mechanic but you said you skimmed the head.
Don't you have to use an over sized head gasket to make up for the valve interference
These engine have a natural sounding tick on idle yes?
I need your help Aaron with mine opel zafira opc 200pk
How much should I expect to pay to have my valve seals replaced on my vxr in situ,
Cheers Rob
It depends. Anywhere from 800 euros to 1.5k.
I live in Bulgaria and a friend mechanic can do my valves, head gasket and segments for 800 euros max. My engine is the 1.8 x18xe1 by the way. If you open the engine, change everything and find a guy who knows how to rebuilt engines.
I was on the edge of changing my valve seals, because I had bad fuel economy and it was working shaky, but I started with the simpler things.
I cleaned the EGR valve, my throttle body, the MAF sensor and I did an engine flush.
If you think you have a lot of carbon build up, do like I did. I flushed the engine twice and I used Amsoil engine flush and oil.
I also changed my oil sooner after the first time to clean most of the crud. After the second time my car is working like a swiss clock! The valves and top cylinders were probably carboned from all these years and now its night and day.
The stem seals are 50£ and you can do it yourself so with the tools and without taking the head off not much more than 100-150£
About £150
Do the stem seals work on ler engine as well?
Might be a stupid question but do valve stems wear over time ?
Most of the wear occurs on the valve guides
Where you based?
what sort of price can this be done for by yourself
Just like to know what you're running those top hose into , my breather system is stock.
External breather system
@@AaronUnknownPerformance thx , will go over you're clips. Guessing you plugged the 4mm inlet.
