Vx commodore melting plugs

[Tplunk]

Thanks for your input
It’s got hi lift rockers
Manifold insulator
Plenum spacer
That it as it’s in a motor home I figured these would be easy mods for a bit of pulling power

What fuel you running? My plugs looked about the same as yours, I do have a slightly earlier engine.

What are you using for an air filter?

 

[losh1971]

Do you have a way of plugging your laptop in to the ECU, like you can on a VX?

On the first run when it really stuffed up I was using unleaded 95 but have been told since to only use 91 ??

Just the transit box type paper filter I have a pod filter but everyone says not to use them ??

Yes I can do that but the program and lead I bought doesn’t seem to work for me I emailed the guy I bought it off and he said just follow the instructions I did still didn’t work I did take it to get a diagnostic done the first time it played up, as I wasn’t thinking of engine damage after 54ks, but the only faults it thru up was cam angle sensor missing ? They put a new one in still same result hence compression test after that they didn’t look any further although he did mention that manifold temp was fluctuating a lot but I guess that’s because of the valves

Do you have the air temp sensor in the airbox?

Nothing wrong with POD filters, they just need to be enclosed.

 

[Tplunk]

Yep I drilled hole in to of air filter box and fitted
Maybe I will put the pod filter on
I haven’t done this yet but was told if the mesh was taken out of the maf sensor it’s

Cleaning the maf is a good idea, not sure if there are any gains to be had by removing the screen though.
