Alloytec engine clattering on start-up

[twb1979]

I know their was a thread on here before about a member who was experiencing that engine clattering noice on cold engine starts and he was going thru the process with a Holden dealership.

Just want to know what the outcome of this was as mine Adventura does it when it's stone cold. Only does it for a couple of seconds but it's annoying and embarrasing and most of all it doesn't sound healthy. It sort of reminds me of those Ford barra engines starting up...

Anyone else had a similar issue with their motor?

My old SV6 with 55,000kms on the clock was whipser quiet from day one.

Its ****ed.

Holden cant bolt a gearbox back in

After my nice fresh rebuild, the gearbox and the tailshaft let go leaving me with some $8000 worth of damage.. and injuring me.

 

[impulsesv6]

any reason why? - too much torque?

Holden dealership negligence.

My car was returned to stock a long time ago

when i stopped chasing power out of an unreliable v6 that kept breaking
heres something for eevryone
you want power
buy a v8

you wan to mod it?

Alloytecs are **** and ownt make it past 70,000k's with any decent power.
