Will depend on type of sump,if you have a sump with out the baffles you maybe able to remove it by just chocking the motor up as far as you can get it you may also need to drop or remove the front swaybar for more room too.If you have a baffled sump,either motor out or drop the crossmember.I did...

Just clean it up and take it to an exhaust shop as they would have a hoist and get them to run some weld there easy as.I've welded up a few commodore front and rear frames in my time.

Rocker covers gaskets are very dear lol.Just remember the timing chains stretch on the VE's and the Captivas.

If its auto,maybe a broken flexplate???

Best i've had around town is 16.8L but i got a heavy ass crewman

Me around christmas just after a sesh.

Yeah was thinking of going that way but those dissy's are old 20-30yr old and people still want atleast $100+ for them.

Just wondering if there is any other type of ignition module out there that can convert the output signal of the vn v8 electronic distributor.....I know you could use a msd 6al-2 but they are around the $400 mark....Is there any other way i could use the original vn v8 distributor on a carby...

At work we charge $77 an hr.But might have gone up.

arm curling in the squat rack!!!

Im planning to run a 9inch and a 3inch thick wall single piece tailshaft after i get it running under its own power.It's only a cruiser so the stock diff will do for now.

I'm with you guys,get off the crack,dont be a tool and some one shut that b_tch up.

Am doing a similar engine and box conversion into a vc sedan but using a vn 5L/turbo700.

Good idea to pressure test it.If you dont get onto it quickly and if its the cooler split in the radiator it could contaminate the auto oil and stuff the transmission.I'd be checking the auto oil condition daily.

You cant properly flush a cooling system with the thermostat still fitted.You will need to remove it.The closest thing you could do when flushing is remove a heater hose and flush it through that way and then drain the water in the system and replace with coolant.

Yeah could be inlet gaskets leaking.But could also be the cooler split in the radiator for the auto cooler....

How did you flush it??Did you remove the thermostat and flushed the cooling system through the housing???

Hey guys,im doing a V8 VN conversion to my VC commodore sedan.Inregards to tailshaft whats the best way around it???I tryed the 4spd manual yolk and it fits into the rear of the turbo700 boc same spline and size.Would i have to have the shaft shortened??I'm just using the standard small...

Be sure to bleed the cooling system properly,open up heater tap to hot and fill the cooling system and then run the engine till it reaches operating temp and also make sure the thermostat opens and the fans come on and re check level and refit cap.Be sure to use the correct specified pressure...

Fuel pump.If your blowing fuses possibly one or both fuel pump and getting hot whislt running and creating a high resistance and blowing the fuse.

Not with a stock 4spd auto.lol

Common problems which exist,leaking inlet manifold gaskets or pouruss inlet manifold.When the inlet gaskets decide to let go they can leak coolant into the combustion chamber.Just something to consider.

We had an ecotec VY berlina,some years ago came in with 40,000km on the clock and needed an engine as it ran out of oil it had done 17,000km since its service and the own didnt check the oil and was also late for servicing.Job cost about $2850 all up for a second hand engine,fitted.

That refers to VT/VX,on the VY/VZ's you need to hold down the 2 top buttons turn the key to on and then a service light will come up to reset service light/oil light,then press and hold the set button and till it beeps then done.

Actually it isnt crap.....Have got proof of synthetic oils breaking down even before 5000km.My day job is a mechanic and over the 12 years i have been in the trade i have seen alot.When the BA's and the VY/VZ's came out these models onwards tend to use oil synthetic oil.So regular maintenance is...

I did a trip from here (griffith) to adelaide roughly 800kmish,filled up here with premium shell fuel,2 passengers fully loaded up boot.Sat cruise on most of the way sitting just over the speed limit etc.Made it there on a tank of fuel.But mind you the roads are flat out here lol.

I think by holden the service interval states that on a vz or ve the interval is 15,000km for each oil service.Which is way too long.Also if an engine has used synthetic oil never change back to a mineral or this could result and also burn oil.

Looking at those pic's.....Very low maintenance vehicle.Vehicles should be serviced every 5000km or twice a year regardless of km's.Also the wrong oil used can cause this aswell.I wouldnt be surprised if it had large amounts of carbon deposits on the back of the valves and intake.The real only...

Hey MR Expert,The actual power wire feed comes from the BCM.When it wasnt playing up there was power at the diagnostic plug,the when it played up you couldnt start ,the power windows wouldnt work,the radio wouldnt work interior lights wouldnt work etc. I had wiring diagrams from holden and...

Check your DFI plug.Its located at the bottom of the coil packs,7mm bolt nip that up and it should start.

If not rocker covers or p/s,could be inlet manifold leaking.

Your dramas sound likea VX that i repaired some time ago.I tried changing BCM's and fault checking the wiring aswell.But i found that the power sluppy wire from the diagnostic plug had lost its power when it would play up.Cause at times with the scan tool it wouldnt communicate or switch on as...

When i used to have my old VR stato efi 5L,it was lowered hsv cold air intake,advance timing,good fuel,twin system 2.5 dumped at diff.On the trip computer on long trips would get down as low as 7.4L per 100km.You could easilly get over 800km out of a tank of fuel.

Actually the smaller version of a Z9 oil filter is a Z89.

Subi heads arent too bad to do.Just done a brumby engine early in the week.

Id get a decent fuel pressure/flow gauge to test your fuel pump.

If your thinking about a 253,wouldnt be a bad setup.But i would stick with a VB to VL car as they are light,you can build a good 330 to 370hp 253 with the right work and parts,match it up to a 4spd manual muncie or even a well built T5.Check out on aussiev8 forum there is a guy on there who has...

There are 2 ways you could go.Could go a 308/stroker option or go EFI V8 with a single turbo or twin turbo.As for a hill climb car that wont be registered i would get a VN to VS V6 as it would be your cheapest option.Then just rip out the entire driveline.Rebuild the borgy with 3.9's or 4.11s...

Hey guys i have a 1993 2wd TF space cab rodeo with a VN EFI 5L and turbo 700 in it and im in the process of turboing it.Will be running a single T04Z A.R 70 and rear housing A.R 1.32,will also be running a front mount.External wastegate,42lb injectors,bosch 044 fuel pump,FMU or rising rate fuel...
