vs ute ecotec

[K-BAGZ]

Check the o-ring and spring. It shouldn't allow to much oil into the plenum chamber, that Ecotecs are renowned for doing. I plugged mine and have now got a oil catch can setup.

Radiator cleaning won't take long. Flush the engine too when it is all back together.

Just make sure all the carbon is removed.

Wagon springs. No.

I have a set of rear low springs with upper spring insulators as spare.

Camshaft upgrades do need headwork and a tune.

Have you gotten my PM I sent you?
