Alloytech stuff up

VE's can suffer the same problem also. Along with models in the US with a similar engine.

There was a post in the VE section recently on this issue.

Holden are charging upwards of $2000 to fix.

VE??? The Omega models? Friend's 2010 VE Omega (company car) makes a brief "clacking" sound when starting up. This is curious. It's only done 39,000km, but has been absolutely thrashed — I certainly wouldn't drive my car where I've been in his (despite the mirth and horror...). Shows you what happens when people have company cars and not too interested in looking after them... Timing chains, tapsters or his steel-toed boot tapping to "Reservoir Dogs"??

The yanks would've sorted the problem out before selling the motor to Holden anyway.

Selling the motor to Holden? isnt the alloytec a aussie motor made at the melbourne engine factory?

Yes. Also co-engineered by Holden.
