Jarrid,
Will do a quick side-by-side and tape measure this weekend. If the
measurements are close, I'll borrow a digital camera next week.
I'm not sure about the G160 type, but this motor doesn't have a balance
shaft, just a timing chain connecting OHC to crank.
Jeff,
The Gemini is the baby Opel of the 1970s (Kadett?). When I was in Germany in
1986 there were rust-eaten examples all over the place (hmmm, much as ours
looks now). I don't think we have a pic of ours actually - tells you
something I think....
Cheers,
Paul.
