This is how it goes. Note that there are exceptions but overall.....

Gen III murders all of them

Yeh true, but GEN III will give you more of a headache if pre 2001

Can put out 16psi and commy engines can handle it :bow:

Why? Any of the piston or oiling issues would be long sorted out by now.

16psi on stock internals!!

Ha! i'd like to see the n00b that can make that happen. I reckon it wouldn't even get to running temp before ..... *BANG!!* followed by....*tears*

lol

Maybe if they looked into a decompresion plate, to drop it to about 5:1 cr, some forged pistons, worked rods and the like....

awe.. nah i still reckon there's no way the bearings and such would take it.

If anyone's tried let us no..

Cheers

Just so you know, I was taking the piss. But there is an auction right now running where the guy is telling people this check it out its up further on the page

if the buick can handle 20psi then the ecotec should handle 16 easy enough

My brothers VU SS has had 2 rebuilds and it's still not getting enough oil, and now warranty is out.

Cheers for all the opinions guys. After going through this thread, and some careful thought I have decided that within the next 6 months, I will be selling my VR exec and buying a VN or VP calais 5L or SS.
