Engine Rebuild Time-Lapse: Opel Kadett Historic Rally Car Build #3

With the engine now removed from my 1980 Opel Kadett I could start preparing the engine bay to receive my 1.3 OHC engine which was rebuilt by Cork Engine Centre a number of years ago, using parts from one that had rallied during the the 80's and 90's and completed 3 Circuit of Ireland rallies. It looked it too, with a very battered sump and what turned out to be a bent crankshaft. After some 'carchaeology' a replacement crank was found, polished and fitted.

[@shlepkovac3759]

thats because people on facebook dont watch videos. Its just autoplay adding numbers

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

The average view time on this video on Facebook is over 1 min 30, they'd be scrolling very slowly if that was the case.

[@jaggass]

Has Chewie's engine gone to there to get rebuilt as well?

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

Chewie’s Engine got the full rebuild treatment by them but it wasn’t practical to film the whole thing this time.

[@TheMegaNanometer]

why bother with a 1,3? a C20NE would be the way to go for a Kadett D. other than that, love the car restoration diary, as I have a Kadett of my own, which is also in the process of restoration at the moment :)

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

This particular engine has a significant motorsport history and by fitting it to the car it will be eligible for historic rallying which has some nice tight 8 valve classes rather than the more unlimited modified classes you'd have to enter with a 2.0 litre. I quite enjoy pushing a small engine hard, it encourages you to be more committed and the drive train is well within it's tolerances so you get reliable motorsport.

[@jamesmay2343]

whrre is the garage ?

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

Near Cork City in the South of Ireland, that’s their details at the beginning of the video.

[@skylinefever]

So was one crank journal in bad shape, or were multiple crank journals in bad shape? Sometimes if only one journal is bad, people prefer to weld it and save their crank.

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

The crank was actually bent, so that's why they sent me to look for another one.

[@skylinefever]

@@VantagePointVideoGarage Okay, I understand now.

[@oldschoolamerican714]

Was that a lawn mower engine

[@jaggass]

How long did it take to rebuild?

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

About 3 days

[@jaggass]

Not bad other than the crank did it have other new parts too?

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

Bearings, pistons, oil pump, water pump, rockers and lifters.

[@jamesaddison81]

What would someone pay roughly speaking for an engine rebuild with skimming and reboring etc

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

I think about €1600

[@jaggass]

What's the engine going in?

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

A hillclimb Kadett, but not sure which car I’ll use yet.

[@jaggass]

Was that the 1.3 OHC engine?

He did, after the sonic bath they rinsed it with water. I was surprised too and asked him about it at the time. They get oil on it all soon after so I was assured this was ok.

It depends how much you’re getting done. About €1200 I think.

[@brettlyde6338]

Can you not turn your crankshafts and use oversized bearings

Classic car? What, an Opel Kadett? That's barely a youngtimer, let alone a "classic"...

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

Classic Car is a fairly arbitrary term, there is no clear definition. To me this engine is a classic. It has completed 3 Circuit of Ireland Rallies since the eighties. It's out of an extremely rare right hand drive Opel Kadett 1.3 SR. The car it is to is officially designated vintage/veteran for tax purposes, would be eligible for Category 3 Historic Rallying. It's 38 years old, so eight years too old to be a young timer which is generally agreed as up to 30. I believe that the Kadett D as Opel's first front wheel drive car has an important place in the history of bringing cheaper safer and more comfortable motoring to a greater number of people. In class level rallying they were great achievers and were the foundation of glory that was reaped by the Nova/Corsa and Kadett/Astra, SR, GTE and SRi's
