Vauxhall Kadet - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Kadet - Years 1984-1991
Part: Engine
Operation: Valve stem seal replacement

Replacing the valve stem seal is a demanding operation that requires a minimum of mechanical knowledge. It is important to know that each left or right gasket is always replaced in the same way. To begin it is necessary to remove the cylinder head cover and also the intake and exhaust adjustment unit. Then we will proceed by removing the intermediate lever, the camshaft, the cylinder head and finally, the spring for the stem valve. Once all these operations have been completed, the extractor must be taken and applied to the valve stem gasket, performing a rotary and extraction movement at the same time.

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.
