Where can i buy a new alloytec engine
Hey all
I've been searching around the net trying to find a new 190kW alloytec for my sv6 and cant seem to find anything.
Would anyone know where i can get one besides Holden?
Cheers
Na i emailed em, said they didnt have any.
sometimes they have ads in the street commodores mag
Barry Bourke in Berwick sells the LY7 (3.6 Alloytec) for $4500. Try him for the 190kw version.

Ebay perhaps. Failing that Holden itself. Or just drop a V8 in there, chances are you will get one cheaper then the Alloytec anyway. From what I have heard the LS1 bolts right in, just need the BCM.
Damn, I dno then mate, sorryJust called him, only had the VE 195kW Alloytec :S
Well i called holden yesterday and they said $4350 fo a new alloytec. That might be my best option.
Surely it requires more than just the BCM to convert to a V8! If that were the case then i would do it. But im thinkin it might be a bit more involved than that.
No worries mate, thanks for the suggestion

go in Luxury
what happened to it to need a new one?
low compression in cylinder 6. Caused by 2 cracked valves and stretched timing chain and guides. the head needs to be skimmed also and the water pump needs to be replaced as well as all the valves cos their all warn out. I was told this was a result of not servicing frequently enough, this is the second water pump its been through also. Either way its 6 grand to fix. I figure why repair an engine that has this much damage with 150,000km on the clock when it could be cheaper to buy a new one.
Right Foot Action
how much warranty comes with that new engine?
not sure, still waiting for them to get back to me. I would think at least a year surely.
