Omega General Help / Re: BUGGER JUST FITTED ME HEADS ON MV6

I spent hours changing the engine on a Vectra GSI few months ago only to find as soon as I filled it with coolant the thermostat housing was cracked and leaking so stripped most of it down to fix that.

Ah the joys of putting an engine together then realising you have to strip half of it back down again.

As a rule of thumb you can't really go far wrong running 30 all round.

Remove the auxillary belt then start the engine if the noise disappears you'll know it something related to that, while it's off check all the pulleys.

Well done, when I bought my Vectra someone had tightened up the canister so much that I sheared it off trying to remove it.

I always remove the fuel pump relay when I leave my Nova so no one can steal the car.

As said best way is a second hand set of projectors unless someone has a good set of second hand lamps like yours, they do come up every now and then, also if you get second hand lamps check that the adjuster bits aren't cracked/broken inside as this can be quite common especially on the xenon lamps.

Omega General Help / Re: 4 Bar FPR's
« on: 06 April 2008, 11:01:26 »
Cool, was just wondering as I have an MV6 here with one fitted, wasn't sure if it was standard or someone had fitted it. Is it a 3 bar that should be fitted to a 3.0 MV6 then?
Thanks, Dave.
Thanks, Dave.

Did any Omega's come with a 4 Bar fuel pressure regulator as standard?
Thanks, Dave.

Omega General Help / Re: V6 head removal, engine in or engine out?

Its each to there own but i think its better to remove and if you have a two post ramp then take it out though the bottom.
I always remove the engine through the top on Omega's without the gearbox as it saves taking any of the suspension e.t.c to pieces, Vectra's e.t.c alway take out through the bottom.
