Omega General Help / Cambelt, how tight?
« on: 19 December 2007, 17:41:27 »
Just how do you judge the correct tension on the v6 cambelt. Most other belts suggest twisting through 90 deg. with finger and thumb pressure on the longest straight belt run but I cant find the info for the GM v6

You might not notice vibration from the 'van unless you were riding in it

Cant really see a problem with them as wheels should always rely on the hub to centre them anyway. I have come across cars where the wheel centre bore does not match the hub and therefore they are relying on the bolts to centre them. This usually causes vibration and with the whole load being taken on the bolts is not a great idea

Yes, the wheels have a reducer fitted to give the correct centre bore of 65.1 mm but I've never seen these bolts before and from the lack of response to the original post I guess not many members have.

Solved it. Yes the Omega wheels are 110 PCD and the MIM alloys on mine are 108 PCD. I did'nt realise that it was possible to fit these wheels using bolts specifically designed for just this purpose.

Website guides to alloy wheel fitments all list the Omega as 5x 110. The MIM alloys on mine are marked ET 40 PCD 108 so presumably the published guides are wrong?

Hi, I did discuss this with James last week, it runs fine for about 1 min. and then emits huge clouds of steam from the exhaust, it also pressurises the cooling system
