Hey Cap, I was thinking of just buying one myself, and returning it on the day. If you wanted to do that you could but i don't mind. it should only be $30

Lol that's a good idea
I'll go n have a look.
U know what day u have in mind at this stage?

I'm actually trying to remove the harmonic balancer bolt on my "real toy" aloytec engine rite now to get the timing case off but it's f*n hard to get the bolt off.
The balancer keeps spinning I'm trying to jam it with something now.

[kuzman89]

Wow, going full throttle trying to fix it yourself, any luck? Let me know if you need any help!

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

Alright good news every one look what I bought.


Worked a charm.
But took me a while till I could get it to start pulling of the motor.
But now understand how it's done.







Mission accomplished.

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

No worries at all, I will
I just hope it won't be harder to do cause the engine is in the car.

Looks like that Alloytec has clearly had oil changes every 2,500ks

[kuzman89]

Did you pick it up from the wreckers Cap?? And sorta disappointed I won't have to buy a claw pulley anymore

Lol, u can borrow mine when evr u like man

Na I got it off eBay for like $200 it has everything on it Aircon Comp, Waterpump, PowerSteering, inlet manifold, all the sensors, elec throttle body. The whole lot.

I always practice on it before I touch my car.

[MACE]

Good price on the motor!

[kuzman89]

Can't you just replace the parts you need off this motor?? Assuming thats what your doing lol

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

Yea it's mangled.
Looks like it was serviced every 20,000km.
The amount of sludge in there is incredible.

Can't even see the bolts holding the chain from the sludge build up.


This is the oil sump, has about 2.5th deep of sludge on the bottom.


Anyone know how I can clean all the sludge of it when I further pull it a part?

If I use a high pressure machine and degreaser will it rust?

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

Yea it was really good considering it had all the extra parts with it.
The guy I bought it off even delivered it to my place

Btw steve do u sell aftermarket chains for these alloytecs?

Was good to meet Cap and Kuzman today, install wasn't really that hard, bit of a prick getting the new belt on!

What are people's thoughts on the pulley kit fitted to the 3.6 SIDI motor???
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure I'm feeling any change, idk... Might need to drive it some more to see.

[kuzman89]

Might be because you installed them at the same time? I felt mine as soon as I drove it off the first time!

Pulley kit was a 30 minute job. For some reason expected it to be harder. Steve if you read this, after I went for abit of a squirt, what appeared to be white fluid (possibly cooling liquid) came out of the engine pulley we installed (not the harmonic balancer) cleaned it up and havent seen it since, but I'm thinking might be too tight??
BTW for anyone installing springs and shocks on a VE ute, the front was easy!!! Rears were a nightmare, took is 30 minutes on the front and like 3-4 hours on the rears!!

[CAPRILICIOUS WL]

Was great meeting yous n helping you out today bigjim92 and Kuzman.
Was pretty easy too install

Kuzman, with the rear spring did u take out the bolt for the rear shock???

[MACE]

Glad the installation when well for everyone .de

In regards to pulley bolts on too tight, you know that this is the case if you've cross threaded the casting or broken the bolt.

Not great ways to find out LOL.

So I think you'll be right

Cheers,
Steve

Was great meeting ya too man, car looks awesome, shame about the timing chains. Best of luck. Btw what do you mean by this?? We swapped over all the parts that I didn't have. Including the bump stop.

Btw, will pm soon, but everyone else who hasn't payed, please do so!! Get it organised asap as Steve has been waiting awhile now.

Thanks man
It's actually getting fixed at the moment, went in this morning.
Here's more about the update for the timing chains on my car. Noisy V6 alloytec - rattle in front of engine, sounds like a diesel. Please help.

It may be different on the Ve utes, but when I did the rear on the vzs they were easier than the front.
I'm not to familiar with utes.

[MACE]

Cap you should have put a set of cams in it at the same time as you were doing the chains

Let us know how it all goes and the final cost

Cheers,
Steve
