Newbie! Just a question

[?uestlove]

Hey guys,

My friend, who knows nothing bout cars, has no internet, and just drives a really tired old commodore, has cracked the cam cover in his Commodore (I Didnt even know thats possible!) Basically, radiator has a leak, and he doesnt check things, and just drove it, and obviously overheated.

Sorry Im so ignorant, but im sure its a VB, its a 1979 model, and he says its a 2.2l, but I think he must mean 202? 3.2L right?

Just asking, so i can try and source the parts for him to fix it!

Cheers!

2.8 L is a 173cc (baby 6) ; 3.0L = 186cc; 3.3L = 202cc

I thought the 2.85L engine was 186ci, and the 3.3L was 202ci, cause holden never produced a 3.0L (except the Nissan engine in the VL)

"Cracked a cam cover" , can you post a picture or give a better description of where abouts this cover is!
As the red motor, timing gear/cam cover is at the lower front of the motor, behind where all the pulleys are and would probably be only damaged in a crash.

No aussie cars are metric

That's why half the nuts and bolts in commo's are imperial

No this here is not a 186. a 2.85L is a 173.

Errr if thats the case you mean that 3.3L=3310cc=202ci

rofl, i think u missed the point

2.8 L is a 173cc (baby 6) ; 3.0L = 186cc; 3.3L = 202cc

As far as my schooling permits, there are 1000 cc in a L.
How did u get 3.0L to equal 186cc or even 3.3L to equal 202cc

hmmm, 3300cc = 202cc, i dont think so.
