Calibra Turbo engine strip down - the MIGHTY C20LET

If you are into iconic 90s Turbo cars you will know all about the Vauxhall Opel C20LET 2.0LTR 16V turbo motor.
In this video I do a detailed tear down of the motor and inspect for wear.

Use copper nuts on the exhaust manifold . steel on steel is a bad idea on the exhaust side . its actually the XE cam that has more lift hence why they are fitted into the let . great strip down vid are you building it for power or just a road car ?

[@DanielBall]

Yeah I planned to use the copper coated nuts, this is just how it came. And yes your right, an XE inlet cam has another 1mm lift 🙂 Thank you, it's just going to be standardish power for a friend's Nova. He does have a chipped ECU to go with it, so hoping for around 250+bhp.

A lot of issues on one engine, worse that someone's been in there before. Full reburbishment required!

[@DanielBall]

Yeah, sadly it's very rare to find one of these that hasn't been messed with. The actual core bits are in very good condition though so it will make a nice engine once completed.
