Vauxhall Zafira valve stem oil seal problem..
Variant: 1.6 petrol 16v ecotech
Model Year: 2001
Categories:
Engine & Drivetrain
should these VAUXHALL OPEL OMEGA VECTRA 16v 2.0 ecotech VALVE STEM OIL SEALS be the same, and are they easy enough to fit?

no mate they are not easy to do as you have to remove the cams timing belt just to get to them and that itself is not easy as you will have to have it all timed up again when you come to putting it back together so i wouldn recommend that you have a go yourself unless you are mechanically minded and you have the tools required ie torque wrench and so on

ive got torque wrenches and stuff as just breaking my rs turbo that i had, and that was always needing attention...

Have to take the head off to do stem seals, need proper valve removing tool etc...

Yep head off, Easy enough if u know how. Its prob not the seals but more like the valve guides.

I have a zafira If i was to rebuild the engine up myself but got somebody to put the stem and valves in for me how much would it cost me roughly all in, plus would it be worth it on a 51 plate
