2.6 Engine swap
« on: 20 November 2007, 18:16:02 »
Hi again guys , Ihad a problem recently with sludge pouring out of header tank , have looked in to it by taking cams , heads off etc and r/h/s pistons have started to (well best way to put it ) melt , have located a 2.6 from a 2001 Vectra , is it just a case of unbolting all ancillaries from Omega engine and bolting them to Vectra block/head , thanks  again , Rob

I seem to remember Mark saying that the bolt holes for various ancilleries were in different places and of a different depth.

I think it will be OK, the blocks are the same...

all ancils, sump, inlets, camcovers, the lot will have to be changed over.... while it's doable, would be easier to source an Omega lump.

Blocks and heads are the same....sumps, cam covers and ancillary mounts are different.

Easy enough to sort with both engines side by side.
