unfortunately a lot of shops run like that.

unfortunately time is money, professionals are meant to do the proper job but at the end of the day customers will only pay so much for labour time and the job in total, especially when the cars aren't worth anything once the aircon is dying, so it's never done properly. Hence why so many things...

If your not measuring the oil then the only other way to do it is to flush everything and fill compressor to it's rated full fill, not just a compressor swap. Yes they do do c02 leak detection nowdays. Yep, the aircon industry is way over regulated.

Officially you can't by regs let the gas out into atmosphere it should be relaimed. The procedure would go something like this. Have the gas reclaimed and oil measured that came out with the gas. Remove compressor and drain oil in measuring cup. Drain oil from replacement compressor and fill...

injectors look fine, below the green bit is a black rubber oring. Check fuel pressure otherwise get injectors tested and cleaned.

If it's not cranking at all it could be a security issue with key, starter relay, BCM or starter motor. The BCM wont let the relay engage for the starter motor until the correct key fob is present. Now that it's cranking it sounds like either to lean or to rich, the only things left that would...

It can also be the oil pump inside gear wearing, once the inside of the rotor lip and housing wears it gives more clearance for the oil to get past and out to the front seal, there is a drain hole between the gear and the front seal which is tiny and can't handle the amount of oil once the pump...

if you want a comfort ride use the manufacturer specs, if you want best handling and fuel economy i usually pump them to 5psi from the wall specs when cold.

if the noise is there a standstill while idling does it disappear while in park or neutral?

You'l need to workout if it's leaking from radiator or top hose and replace as required. The steam maybe just coolant spray onto the exhaust.

yeh prob same issue as statements with passenger airbags, going to hard to find now.

no scantool on VS for cluster it doesn't use system data. this thread may help https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/vs-calais-statesman-dash-calibration-issue.177337/

wreckers?

i can't really makeout any noise from the video, im guessing this is auto, sure it's not a wheel bearing? Jack each wheel up and spin and see.

Your scantool will need to see the live data, it can then show you the sensors KPA pressure reading.

vs did come with L67 option. See wiki page. In 1996 when VT production started they then offered the motor in the vs's as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Commodore_(VS)

there is a pressure sensor in the line, the pressure maybe to high or to low which is stopping it from engaging the clutch. A scantool can read this value from the sensor.

congrats mate, well done!

cruise control motor

link pin rubbers gone?

was it a genuine TPS Sensor? Some of the aftermarket ones don't line up properly, you can check it with a multimeter or scantool or laptop with a ALDL cable and see what voltage it's reading, it should be around 0.45v with no throttle.

TPS Sensor, they usually wear in the just off idle part.

indicator relay in the fuse area under the steering wheel.

pretty common, the top seal between the inlet gaskets prob is leaking, could also be pcv valve not working well enough so pressure is fed past the seal.

yes they will fit up, you'l need the tune changed to suit, not really worth it unless you have to replace the injectors you have or you have mods done that require more fuel.

just grab one from wrecker.

pcmhacking should have them in stock https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3616

yep i was hitting reply and nothing happening, seems it did post, have you got a link to the ones your talking about for future reference?

i posted that ebay link 3 years ago so of coarse it wont be available anymore. The part number is 816-06-NPS if you read the post i said it is the fitting to fit directly to the gearbox, not the metal line fittings. From that fitting you just need 6AN to whatever hose size adapter you want...

i wouldn't be mismatching rods, wont be in there long otherwise lol Get some better pictures of the rods, someone might be able to ID them.

just try it, will only invert the direction of the switch

so either balance was out, clearances not right or lost oil pressure, possibly more scenarios, crank would be no good by the sounds of it, so another crank and rod then new bearings and a full balance to check

first photo doesn't look factory, second one looks factory. I wouldn't be mixing and matching, different weights/balance and strengths to start with, what happened to the original rod? is the rest of the engine in good nick? I would be checking everything over. See if you can find out what rods...

tried checking for fault codes on pcm? How much you want for the ute? Auto or manual?

not even that, drop engine in, extend TPS and IAC Wires. Keep your ECU just swap memcals over as yours is security linked.

Never trust anything without proper testing, fake injectors and people who have no idea are rife in the industry. If your car is stock with stock injector settings in the PCM, then just have them properly tested and cleaned if need be. Replacing injectors with different ones should come with the...

oil will help catch micron particles. If you want a much better filter than K&N go Unifilter, oiled foam. Wash the filter with mineral turps brake cleaner will damage it.
