    VX not getting oil to rockers

    Well the old bolts keep vibrating loose, i nip them down with a ratchet while the motor is running and they just vibrate loose again Unless there is some superficial force holding them on what stops the bolts from working loose? Or do they come with some good locktite? Has anyone put studs in...

    VX not getting oil to rockers

    Loads of people do it But thats not the problem, the lifters presumably are blocked not letting oil get through them to the pushrods Changing the oil wont unblock the lifters (if thats eve the problem)

    Vn ecm change

    I think I will Aeroplanes are able to be leaned to 50* lean of peak, and that’s also in cruise to under load of course it wouldn’t be any good If I can achieve something similar with the little cruising I do do I’d be happy I hope to pull it off the road soon anyway and replace it with a...

    Vn ecm change

    They don’t (as I understand) because it increases other emissions, so they set it to what they do to get best of everything Cops don’t check emissions though and there is plenty of older cars running a lean mixture so what harm will one more do? I have heard they lean out a bit and even shut...

    Vn ecm change

    I thought the VR had a plug to plug into in the car while the VN has to have some computer intense **** done to change anything... sequential injection isn’t necessary though is it? Just manafactures being fancy? I read somewhere that running a 22:1(I think) ratio will save 33%fuel Why grenade...

    Hi all I have just bought a VX S Pack Holden By Design with presume totaled motor. Thing is infact its fine just water in the oil, it was thought to be a head gasket but how would water get in the oil if it was a head gasket? Is it more likey to be a manifold gasket? And is there a way to check...
