Just noticed at approx 3 minutes in, the heads have 4 combustion chambers…..
Had a cavalier V6 from 1997 to 2005. Engine bombproof though replacing alternator was a pain. Averaged 33mpg. Bit flat low down but went like stink over 3500 rpm. I would imagine M494ODP is long gone now
great engine. mine runs nearly 400.000km.
Can any technicians/engineers help me understand why they chose the 54° bank angle instead of a 60° bank angle, and how they managed to overcome any imbalances in the engine that could otherwise have resulted in excess vibration and harshness? It sounds like a V6 like no other when you rev it.
Вы крышки почему пластиковыми сделали? Чтобы нам нескучно жилось?)
I had X25XE in my Omega B.And a Z32SE in my Signum.Now a Z32SEAH (10HM) in my Antara.GM .
As far as I know it was to make the unit more compact. Vibration I would imagine would be minimal.
Superb. Was a cracking place to work.
