This is a message I got from a Vauxhall Employee in Europe when I inquired about the tool set for doing a cam-belt replacement. Don't know if this will help?
Hi, this is the same engine as in the Vauxhalls, therefore this is the tool you would need to replace the cambelt, here is some info (Kind Regards, :- General Motors' Opel division in Europe designed a compact V6 engine with an odd 54° vee angle. It was an iron block/aluminum head DOHC design with 4 valves per cylinder. All 54° engines are assembled at Ellesmere Port in England.
This engine was used in the American versions of these models as well. The engine was reworked substantially between the 3.0 L L81 and 3.2 L LA3, but the bore centers and deck height were retained.
L81
The L81 was used longitudinally in the Opel Omega, Cadillac Catera and transversely in the Saturn L-Series and Saab 9000. Bore and stroke were 86 mm (3.38 in) × 85 mm (3.35 in), for 2962 cc (180.75 in³) displacement. with 10:1 compression, the engine produced up to 210 hp (155 kW) and (270 N·m).
Saab's turbocharged version for Saab 9-5 (the X30) produced 200 hp (149 kW) at 5000 RPM and 229 ft·lbff (310 N·m) at 2500-4000 RPM.
