I am using the Go Pro Hero 7 for my videos. In my opinion it is the best due to mechanical gimbal‑like stabilization-without the gimbal. Also you can use any power bank you want when filming, no over heating. Affiliate link here for best deal:

Did this job recently and found this video superb,in fact by far the best on KZbin.. Really explains well and gave me the confidence to do it having studied it many many times ... Bravo Wannabe Mechanic👏👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Two things worth noting having now successfully completed the job 1. I didn't have to remove the inner fender (it's really no advantage) just the cover over the crankshaft pulley itself. 2.When checking final T.D.C.(Top dead centre)note that because the sprockets are of different diameters it may take up to 6 full revolutions of the crankshaft to achieve full alignment....hope that helps somebody....

Buen video, bien explicado y muy detallado.Tan sólo una pregunta relacionada con el cambio de la bomba del agua, quisiera saber cuanto liquido refrigerante se vacia y si no hace falta purgar después y así evitar que se queme la junta de culata.

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

Se pierden 2-3 litros de líquido refrigerante si se cambia también la bomba de agua, y no es necesario purgar el sistema. La bomba de agua en este motor está en la correa de accesorios y no en la de distribución. ¡Gracias por tu comentario!

That music drives you mad But a good vidio

At 26:10 sequence I don't understand why to sign the belt's theeth if we inserted the bolts into the pulleys like safety measure. Is it important or optional? Thanks!

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

It is important for beginners. You might miss a tooth. This way the tension in the belt is the same between pulleys. Our channel is for beginners and safety is our main priority. Untill you release the tensioner you do not now exactly how tensioned the belt is between pulleys. As a final answer I would say it is important.

Salut, e la fel si la astra h?

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

Sunt trecute în descriere codurile de motor la care se aplică . Chiar dacă pot exista unele variațiuni,principiul schimbului distribuției este același.
