Would anyone know a good place to have a ecotec motor looked at within Sydney

Just want the best for her,

Sound very very sick over the last few weeks

jolting engine on start up and shutdown, lifters ticking a bit

she has done 158000 kms, its too early to have lung cancer for this motor

doesnt feel like she has lost power just motor sounding unhealthy

oil change at 5000kms and service at 10000kms

I want to take it to someone thats going to know what they are talking about
not some random with screw driver and hammer

My mechanic at Peakhurst has owned Holden's ll his life. They really know their stuff... They do Jap performance, and everything else ... Name is Ricol Automotive .. PM me if you want more info or details ...

1 of the other mechanics there is running around in a VN Calais V8 which he got a couple of months ago ... And the 2 owners upgraded to the VZ SS utes a while back too ...

might be

Just starting up and shuting down like the motor wants to fly out the body

also when you put your foot down a bit, makes a terrible thumbing noise

and sometimes the steering wheel locks up like the headers are touching the rack
