Snowy Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Anyone looking for a 2.4 engine https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-FRONTERA-1992-Spares-Or-Repair/142767415724 1 Quote
rayjen2k Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Sounds like it might possibly need a new head gasket. Im very tempted, but worried it wouldnt make the drive across the country. Quote
Irmscher Man Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 104,000 miles and running badly. Sounds like it probably needs a bottom end rebuild so I wouldn't take this on lightly! Quote

Use the injection system too and head. Quote

Use the injection system too and head. Its the Crankshaft Rod and Pistons that are the problem with this engine. As you say, the block is basically the same old CIH block, although the Fronty version will have the 2.4 casting mark. IF rebuilding, it is probably worth looking into replacement rods and pistons, the VX design was pretty terrible. 1 Quote
