- Hope you all had a good Christmas. Here’s a video of Sam doing a great job on a Vauxhall VXR 2.0 Turbo, engine. It’s mainly time lapsed as Sam’s not ready to speak on camera, but he may do in the future as his confidence grows.
Thanks for watching and I hope you all have a fantastic New Year.

What do the wedges provide when installed in the block/water jacket? Is it a strengthening thing? When/why would it be beneficial to do such a task?
Exactly that mate, some engines with wide water passages can crack when you start pushing some boost in there, not all engines need this. You can fit full wedges which are very strong as well as pegs.
@@graceenginedevelopments Thanks for the explanation. Catch up soon pal.
I see you use a digital torque wrench. Are they better than the old click type. Thinking about upgrading to a digital but not sure which to go for.
I really like them they use a pressure pad instead of a spring so they stay calibrated for longer, also the fact the display show 6 different settings is good.. it has a gyroscope for angles so you can ratchet it if room is a problem.
Epic
Thanks gazza
that looks amazing jus in process saving me up for rebuild wat would it cost me similar build
Hi I've just replied to you on Facebook messenger
Fantastic Job 👍

Great job again, what do you use in the ultrasonic bath to clean the main caps in the video.
Thanks Andy.. I can't remember the name.. I can send it tomorrow if that helps
@@graceenginedevelopments I would be curious a well: what liquid do you use in that ultrasonic bath?
@@windmill1965 hi, if you remind me on Saturday I'll get the name of the label for you
It's called heavy duty degreaser, made by ics UK ltd
www.icsukltd.com
@@graceenginedevelopments Thank you for looking up the name of that product. That's helpful.
When the caps were cleaned and sanded, were the bores checked? I'm sure you did or would have just didt see anywhere on vid.
Hi Richard, yes we check on all main and rod bores
@@graceenginedevelopments Sorry for all the questions pal, just started binge watching all your vids.
@@richrdlewis6278 hi mate, I don't mind the questions I actually like the chats.. are you in the same trade
@@graceenginedevelopments No, have to get all my machine work done before i assemble, 53 now, been at since about 12. Learning more with your vids pal, every days a learning day. Only 3 machine shops left in Swansea now.
quick question dont you have to put the cam sensor on first ?
No it tucks in
How much to do a complete rebuild on a gsi z20let engine
It depends on what spec you are looking for
amazing video.
Thank you
How much do u do a rebuild for?
Hi.. it all depends on the spec. Do you know what you want?
z20leh forged rebuild am not looking to take the van to big power just want it so it runs well and stays that way it has 12000 on it so will like it all done
Give me a call or email to discuss
Poor guy using those cams they’ll be knackered after 1000 miles those rts clutch kits are terrible aswell shame after all that money spent
Have you used them? I'll message the customer, I'd rather replace than have a problem, but need to know your feedback please
All that money spent and he’s used those awful nevlock cams and that terrible rts clutch such a shame they’ll want changing after 1500 miles
Top work on your behalf though
It's the first time we've used the cams, whats the issue with them? Have you used them before? And the clutch, what's the problem with that, mainly because we brought one for Sam's van which he is starting to build. Thanks
@@graceenginedevelopments James we have sold over 250 off those cams not had any issues shame the guy who posted it didn’t get a proper engine rebuilder to fit our cams.
I have all the specifications of our camshafts which I am happy to share with you and you can check them against any of our competitors.
@@simoncolven9686 don't doubt them mate
Theres been more than just 1 set damage the lifters probably about 25 now but they just get blocked from nevlock lol i got blocked and never even brought a thing from them 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Alex, I got nevlock to send me a cam to test on my camshaft machine, the cam isn't a drive way fit, the acceleration rate is high to be honest so a change of spring is a must, good quality followers as well.. but you shouldn't fit a modified part without inspection of other parts, the cam profile has been checked elsewhere as well.. I've spoken to my customer about this as he supplied all the parts and we've decided to test them in the car, nevlock know our plans and are supporting the test. I'm sorry to read this you've had problems with them, they have always been good with me. Thanks for watching and your feedback.
