What’s the story with the Cav V6 You don’t see too many Posts on here about them.
I was wondering why.

Largely because, compared to Astras, Novas etc. (and other cars with not enough pistons or valves ) we are in the minority.
There weren't that many V6's (and Turbos) made in relation to other models.
Check out cavweb (if you don't already), there's possibly a few more V6 owners on there

Now Your Talking ''

I cant understand someone buying a 4 pot and then spending all that time and money trying to up grade 6 pot spec.

Well, the turbo engine already has 30+ bhp on us anyway
And the C20XE (in standard form) is only 20bhp behind.....
There's not a lot in it to be honest.
We still got the best engine though (unless you need to change spark plugs)

I`m always on here lurking in the mists.

Wouldn`t change my car for anything, looks like a 1.8i, beats impreza turbo`s, nuff said.

There's a How2 on Cavweb... inlet manifold has to come off apparently..
Most who tackle it say it is much easier than they expected.

I will say hello as a fellow Cav V6 owner. However, I won't be for much longer!!!

spark plugs wil probably be covered in oil, rocker gaskets will have gone change them at the same time and don't pay vxl prices get them from a factor.

Vx spark plugs are very good value, haven't priced up the gaskets (yet) but aren't expecting to pay much for them.
My advice... always use genuine wherever possible (especially service items).

I had a Cavvy V6. As I worked for MSD at the time a few bits like cams etc found their way into the car

Think its dead now, guy who I sold it to killed it when he ignored the oil pump gasket leak for to long...R.I.P

Oh and Evil, u still got them tools mate??????
