Vauxhall Kadet - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Kadet - Years 1984-1991
Part: Engine
Operation: Head gasket and camshaft oil seal replacement

Before inserting the new camshaft, lubricate it abundantly and then apply the external fixing plates; then proceed to insert the oil seal always after having lubricated it and pushing it as far as it will go in its seat. Then place the new cylinder head gasket and the cylinder head itself; lubricate the seats of the support pins of the valve lifter rocker arms and insert the new pins to then complete the assembly of the camshaft. Finally tighten the cylinder head using a series of new pins to be locked with a crossed pattern and using the torque wrench. Therefore, align the step marks before installing the timing belt.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
