      As much as I don't get Vauxhall's at all, I agree with this. The others are proper TH-camrs in the literal sense, but it's not exactly within most people's reach!

    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?

    • @user-gv7st5xk6s
      @user-gv7st5xk6s 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
