Thanks to all replies , put the compression tester on today , all plugs good and around 150psi ! they must of shaved the heads aswell when they did the head gaskets etc , i was sorta hoping around 135 , but even if tester is out somewhat thats pretty good i reckon , whats it supposed to be ? , by the wat after i warmed it up to do test i reved it up by linkage , and hardly a noise , couldnt believe it !, got my new oil pressure tester comming latter in week so just have to wait till then to find out more , cheers...

Bad oil pressure switch Maybe?

I guess you could hook up an oil pressure gauge and constantly monitor while driving.

Are you my clone? LOL.

Same here, engine rebuilt, pacemakers, not exhaust gasket, can hear next to walls/cars/stuff, mechanics have no idea, and my ear is getting sore from having a screwdriver up against it from trying to find the noise.


Yep I have the same thing and our l67 has pacemaker extractors too and its near imposible to find the noise and I heared so many other v6 's with it too Series2 and ecotech or l67
