V6 cambelt dvd?
« on: 24 August 2018, 22:04:16 »
Hi,

I'm hoping I've already introduced myself when I created an account 3 years ago but I'm prone to lurking forums as and when I need some information and usually find it and then forget all about it.

Anyway, I've bought an omega recently and after giving it a little abuse I'm fairly sure I've popped a headgasket.
I have 30psi of compression on both cylinders 2 and 4 (the first 2 on the right hand bank)

I've decided to undertake the job myself and book a little while off work so I'm not in a rush but having looked through the various how too posts it looks like I'm going to need a DVD detailing the more intricate parts of a v6 cambelt change.

My big problem is that the shop says it's out of stock of the DVD, anybody know where I could source it? Or if an admin could email over the contents?

Thanks in advance!

It developed a misfire, I changed the plugs and leads, still the same. Swapped the dis pack for a known good unit still exactly the same..
I did a compression test and the easy 3 (whilst cold) were 170+ psi, when I did the other side I found the first 2 (cylinders 2&4 were 30psi and the last one to be 170odd.
It's a 3.0.

Those are my thoughts as to it being the gasket, assuming it's just gone on the little bridge between 2&4 hence the identical low pressures.

As far as I'm concerned the head needs to come off regaless as its got low conpression hence why I was looking for the cambelt dvd to help me along the way when timing it.

Yep it's a v6! Didnt know how to change it  ::)

And That's quality I'll order one now!
Whilst I'm here, can anyone tell me why there are 2 cambelt options and what the difference is? I can't work out which one I need. Same for the thermostat actually thinking about it  :-\
Thanks for the replies!

There are more than 2 cambelt options, but they are all interchangeable, sometimes by swapping backplates and sometimes by accepting the lower idler is not adjustable :)
