Well done, Sir ! There are many trained mechanical fittesr or mechanics who would not have done this job as well organised and efficiently as you have . I'm impressed .
Very well done sir, your a mighty man, I have an astra estate 07 If I decide to keep it I'll be doing the same job, TH-cam is a fantastic source of information, great video good luck and keep her lit.
@@c111prs Finaly found the groove on the flywheel for the mark LOL, had issues rotating engine by hand seems it was getting stuck on something, So I loosed the cam pins and rotated till I could free the lower end to get it to mark, then I ll retime the cams
@c111prs new issue lol, I've got everything timed and new chain and all that but engine is very hard to turn around by hand, gets to a point and gets stuck, now after inspecting it's not the engine itself it's the crank oil drive sprocket has play in it seems to get stuck at somepoint judging by the large wear marks, with cover removed and testing I can see it has play around the sprocket it's supposed to drive, spins on the crank perfectly without the gear
@@jjt1093 there should be no play in the bottom Pully mate it’s fixed to the crankshaft using a stretch bolt ,,torqued to specification 50nm plus 90 degrees , one time use only bolt mate, have you replaced the one you took off
Thanks pal, it was a first for me too, biggest job I’ve ever attempted to do with an engine, if you can get the bottom pulley bolt undone ok the rest is pretty straight forward and very doable, a garage charges fortunes, almost the price of the van in my case so I had nothing to loose, thanks for watching and good luck if you try, I’m here to answer any questions for you pal
@@c111prs top man , quick question have you ever had any problems with the van sucking oil into the intake via the crank breather pipe , just done a new inlet manifold , oil trap , and egr with restrictor , but now seem to be getting a lot of oil in the intake goes and drives fine , hoping its not the rings causing high crank case pressure.. any ideas much appreciated
@@UKGUN1T mine does the same pal I think the turbo seal is a bit tired, my intake pipes are all oily, there’s a lot where they join together..to the point where it’s dripped onto the front subframe, I just live with it and try and park it on dirt outside my house, sorry for the late reply 😎
i have a feeling i may be watching this video a few times as my combo 1.3 is sounding loud on the side of engine were the housing for the chain is ,i used a stephiscope i think thats how its spelt when i place it on the housing it sounds loud and almost like a bell coming from inside
Doing this aswell, Did you have to pull the whole exhaust off? mine wont budge So I cant get the damn pan off, also the crank cover has to come off too right ?, now as a land Rover Guy I gotta say the engineer who designed this needs a thumping
You dont need to take off full exhaust mate but it was in the way a bit and I’d had it apart before, crank cover has to come off yes mate and the sump, best of luck with it and sorry for the late reply
@@jjt1093 I took my exhaust off in 3 parts , back box first then the centre, if you can get to that stage Youl get more pry or wiggle from the centre section, the flexi hose on mine was fairly new so it took the abuse to separate them, one lace you get that first bit of movement, keep chipping away maybe a hammer as well as shaking and twisting it
Another silly question, I cutt the exhaust off so thats out the way, But the flywheel cover plate, I had 2 sunken bolts and 1 that went throught to the bell housing and 2 for the web? that goes across the oil pan, is that it ? mine wont budge to come off
I had 6 torque bolts to undo I’m sure 4 bolted to the engine block and there’s 2 green bolts going into the gearbox case the longer green is found at the front the other is smaller so they need to go back in order
or does the tranny mount need all off, Sorry for sounding daft but this is a nightmare engine. I have a jackstand under the ac pump and I guess I need another where the tranny is correct
@@c111prs Ok got it :) thanks for that 1 was left, SO now if have got all off I need I know 100% my chain was loose some bolts were loose on tensioner and guide, So is there a good symbol more mark on the flywheel to see Im good on timing ? or for rotating the crank to get it into postion
@@jjt1093 there’s a little hole in the case underneath you can get a drill bit In to lock the flywheel Youl have to manually turn the engine to you can get it in, I also marked the teeth with paint ,,there’s 2 spring loaded tools to lock the camshafts but if you undo the caps front and back on the head you can see with a mirror if they are in time with the crank once you’ve locked it ,if you struggle with this you can get a cheap kit with the flywheel lock pin and spring loaded cam locks on e bay for less than £20
@@jjt1093 there’s a window you can open on the timing chain cover to inspect the chain ect , you need to remove the drivers side engine mount first to get to it , just make sure the engine is supported before you remove the engine mount
Torque wrench settings are a load of bollox! Ive never used one and nothing has ever come undone. Been working on engines for 32 years! Your intuition will tell you when to stop tightening. Good video.
We both know that lol but some folk won’t be into just tightening stuff up with an extra turn of the wrench afterwards for good measure, The previous loose bolts holding the chain guide on have been fitted by a complete nugget,, obviously done with no with torque settings, or he just forgot to tighten them ,,,hense myself having to correct his work,, thanks for watching
Brilliant! One of the best videos I've watched recently. Glad it worked out for you. Impressed you torqued to spec.
Thanks pal, just hope it can help a few others now, like I needed help 2 weeks ago :)

Top man mines just snapped on me was only going 20mph hopefully is not done in 🤣
Fingers crossed for you buddy
OK so that crank cover web has like 4 main bolts and 1 through the transmission mount it seems think thats my last one
or does the tranny mount need all off, Sorry for sounding daft but this is a nightmare engine. I have a jackstand under the ac pump and I guess I need another where the tranny is correct

Why ?
Already has a new water pump on it, thanks for watching
