2.4 vvt with a few tweaks

vocky · July 17, 2015

So this engine started life in a Vauxhall Antara, which ended up in the breakers and the engine on ebay

VVT head is extremely heavy

So best thing to do is remove it

It is having an external trigger wheel and a Saab head, then a SC

2mm overhang into the cylinder with the 86mm head ?
does this one have the same crank your using in your vx engine ?

overhang will be reduced, same as I did with my cylinder head for it's 90mm bore.

Yes, same crank as my 2.5

love the trigger wheel setup, so much more tidy than mine.

the cylinder head needed some machining, so a quick skim, valves cleaned up and refaced, plus the valve seats were recut

added some brand new valve stem seals and new Saab valve springs

checked the z22yh plastic cam cover for fit

still waiting for the head bolts to arrive, then just need to refit the timing chain and oil pump, etc

Awesome work as always

genuine head bolts arrived today, so fitted those and finished the build

Brand new genuine cam sprockets, sprocket bolts and upper chain guide - 2.4 stuff is totally different
