First-generation review on DRIVE2 - https://www.drive2.ru/l/5079922401702...

Hello, friends! In this episode:
a breakdown of the upgraded Opel Astra H timing gear kit (z16/18xer)
a design overview
a comparison with the first-generation kits (non-upgraded)

We're finally ready for the second part of our review of the timing gear phase shifter mechanism design for Opel vehicles with z16xer and z18xer engines. This time, it's in video format, as it's more visual than blog posts these days.

The first part, with a design overview of the timing gear kit for these first-generation engines, was published a couple of years ago on d2 (link to the post above in the description). We also cut apart the intake and exhaust gear sets (55567048, 55567049) and learned about their design.

In this vlog, we'll compare both generations and find out the differences between the first and second! Join us, it'll be interesting!

Enjoy watching, and good compression to everyone!

Hi friends! In this issue:
sawing a set of upgraded timing gears for the Opel Astra H (z16/18xer)
design overview
comparison with first-generation kits (not upgraded)

We are finally ready for the second part of the review of the design of the timing mechanism phase shifters for Opel cars with z16xer and z18xer engines. This time in video format, because in our time it is more obvious than articles in a blog

The first part with an overview of the design of a set of timing gears for these first-generation engines came out a couple of years ago on the D2 (link to the post above in the description). Then we also saw a set of intake and exhaust gears, and got acquainted with the device of this node.

In this vlog, we will compare both generations, and find out how the first one differs from the second! Join us, it will be interesting!

Enjoy your viewing, all compression!
