    L98 lifters

    My Lifters were only about 10K old, didn't change because they were stuffed. My VE is Supercharged and i dropped a valve so did a rebuild, crazy not to change as one may have had some slight damage.

    L98 Cam Position Sensor

    Thanks Heaps for the heads up, it would have been impossible to get the sensor out with it still in the vehicle and would have made so much more work!!! Appreciated !!

    Thanks mate, i was hoping there was going to be an easy fix but looks like it's coming apart again.. very frustrating after spending many thousands of dollars!

    L98 Cam Position Sensor

    I have just had me engine built and bolted it all back together, running a Supercharger (was on prior to build). fired it up running like a dream but had the check engine light come on a couple of times, run a scan tool and it's the Cam position sensor fault. I don't know why this wasn't...

    L98 lifters

    Changing the lifters is not like the old school lifters, have a look on Youtube, I have just put a new set in my L98 and used LS7 Lifters and this seems to be a very common way to go. If you do but LS7 make sure you buy Genuine and the price are reasonable,

    L98 Engine Out

    I need to remove my engine as I had a little miss hap with a Valve, Bonnet was freshly painted and the heads have been removed so don't really want to take the chance of scratching it. Looking at it I'm sure it looks like there is enough room but don't want to get half way through and find out I...

    S1 Ve ss manual gearbox replacement questions/options

    I'm have a VE SSV S1 with 650rwhp LS7 Race Clutch with std rear end with no issues.. only thing I've done is run a very good quality expensive oil... Maybe sitting on redline and dropping the clutch may cause the issue???

    VL Build ??

    I ended up putting it in the to hard basket... Living where I do it was going to be so very hard, in WA it's hard with power limits. So I bought a Supercharged VE SSV that was already done. I have that burning desire to get a VK/VL but it probably won't be licensed but used at hill climbs and...

    VR Berlina Elec Fault

    The problem is fixed.. found a bad connector pin in one of the plugs in the loom above the kick panel on the drivers side.. It's a great feeling when you search for weeks for a fault and when you eventually find it!! and the cost to fix was $0.00

    Fuel pump relay (relays)

    The previous owner has replaced the relay and wiring from the standard with a higher capacity wiring but looks like a normal 12v relay?

    Fuel pump relay (relays)
