Vauxhall Kadet - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Kadet - Years 1984-1991
Part: Engine
Operation: Head gasket replacement

When flattening the head, it is always advisable to check its perfect flatness using a ground bar and a thickness gauge; the same check must also be carried out on the cylinder base to exclude that excessive overheating may have induced deformations that could affect the adherence and seal of the gasket. Once the check has been carried out successfully, pass the threads of the head fixing holes on the base again, paying attention to the chips, and complete the assembly of the gasket and the head following a criss-cross tightening pattern using a torque wrench.

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.
