[@cmattdabrat]

That's awesome to hear! I appreciate it.

[@sparkedclipper2082]

Another great video! Would love to see the whole process with the new valvetrain.

[@cmattdabrat]

For sure. I'll get some good video of the process.

[@modeverything1]

Looking forward to the upgrades!

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks! Me too.

[@basedemt6608]

Curious about how that duration and lift will go on a 1.8 vs the 1.6 it was meant for. But, the chop of a good cam can't be beat! Happy/excited for the progress.

[@cmattdabrat]

Me too. Shouldn't be too much of a power band difference aside from maybe lowering it a few hundred RPM. The 1.8 is kinda their stroker lol.

[@JoseRuiz-jc4le]

Looking forward to it u helping me with my build since day 1 i appreciate it

[@cmattdabrat]

That's awesome to hear! More to come.

[@Kronic420]

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks! I think so too.

[@HRTSBRT]

Saw the package and knew right away 😁 you got yourself some good quality stuff! 🇩🇪 getting more and more excited with each video! 🎉

[@cmattdabrat]

I'm excite to try the parts out! Going to take some work but fun stuff though.

[@generiley355]

Great video Matt !!!

[@cmattdabrat]

Thank you!

[@levytrotsky2550]

With the front oil leak. I doubt it is this but the 1.8 oil coolers like to really creep in on the leaking. And they leak absolutely everywhere. Ngl my 1.8 currently is doing that and its everywhere but the top of the engine.

[@cmattdabrat]

True. The oil cooler is holding up fine. Definitely got a leak coming from the front because it's dripping where the balancer is, but I'll chase it down.

[@user-qo9qe2wx5r]

흥미롭군요! Interesting!

[@cmattdabrat]

Thank you!

[@jay1185]

I'm still loving this build man! I can't wait to see how the new parts turn out! That poor transmission is gonna be screaming in agony lol

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks! Hahah! Right! At some point I'll dress it. So many directions but it hasn't grenaded just yet.

[@arthurhenderson3853]

Please show us all the work you do

[@cmattdabrat]

Absolutely! Will take a little machining on the thrust of the camshafts, otherwise will fit right up but with mechanical valve and buckets.

[@kylelane342]

Need an update brotha

[@charliesherman8396]

U got your stock turbo still I’ll buy it from u my Cruze turbo took a shit

[@QDArt-gj6lb]

I was wondering for the longest if there was any way to make the Cruze AWD with braking the bank. Hit me with any ideas yall 🤔

[@MichaelD429]

Most cars that are modified today the VVTs are always knocked out. Just too much issues. You're better off

[@cmattdabrat]

You're right about that.
