I would probably drive it if I really had to but keep a close eye on the temp. gauge.Your call though.

Good point. Bought new pump so could fit it in work if I'm allowed.

It wasn't the tensioner it's water pump .

Now she's off the road because I don't want to cause more damage.
Not sure how I'm going to get to work tomorrow.

Tensioner was worn as it was abit rough but water pump has movement

Omega General Help / Re: rocker covers????

« on: 21 February 2012, 17:12:47 »

if i used decent parts in the first place i wouldnt havr to do it again. it proves that theres no point using cheap parts.

i checked the spark plug wells and theres no oil in them i check at the back theres oil leaking from the half moon bits i think. ill change them again and use genuine parts. might even buy new rocker covers aswell.

next on list is rear wheel bearing, front lower arms.

thanks. ill check all at weekend. tgeres a silver pipe running infront of the cambelt cover round the drivers side of the engine and has a piece of rubber pipe on it. is that an oil feed pipe? one of the gaskets are leaking out of the half moon bits at the back. silly as i am i didnt use genuine rocker cover gaskets which i have bought now. will chance them using the guide on here to eliminate the rockers.

thanks to all.

Omega General Help / rocker covers????

« on: 18 February 2012, 08:04:23 »

i have changed rocker cover gaskets due to oil and smoke coming from under the bonnet

still seems to be leaking because i still seem to get an oil patch on my drive and smoke coming from the bonnet.
someone said to me when i was at work that you have to silicone them inplace otherwise they leak.

or put new rocker covers or buy metal ones from the vectra v6 engine. if i was to put metal ones on the oil filler cap will be relocated at the back on the opposite side?
is there a chance ive over tightened the rocker covers?.
