I picked up 2006 VZ LY7 with timing chain issues and a fairly gunked out engine. I've done the timing chains, the pickup tube o-ring, changed the oil pump, cleaned out most of the gunk and flushed the engine multiple times. The car runs but after you drive it for maybe 2-3 minutes it will...

So I’ve got a Ly7 Sv6 2007 Manuel ute 195kw car, it has a K&n filter at the moment already, lately I’ve seen the following orssom OTR intake and Xair OTR intake. I’m wondering what’s the best choice? Are Either of them two better or is my k&n filter producing the same results? Mods so far are...

Hi, I have just done a engine swap in my sv6 to replace my blown one. When I try to start the car however, nothing happens. No cranking. The fuel pump primes and ignition turns on but nothing happens when I try to actually start it. I have had to hotwire it to start it. The center console...

Found this great video showing the assembly process of the Alloytec engine. Might help someone. This one is twin turbo, but you get the idea. If only they put a twin turbo 3.6ltr in a Commodore. (Yeah, I know what I'm saying).

Would anyone know if I can still get/where to get a LY7 SV6 Crate engine or reconditioned engine? Or possibly even cost to get full recon and what would be needed due to a bearing putting metal shavings all thru the engine?
