Most leaks are caused by the under performing PCV. It gets blocked and even when new, was not working at its best. The fault was rectified in the last series VF. Remove the PCV, clean it. The single hole in the top should be drilled to 3mm. The two smaller holes underneath need to be drilled to 2mm. I did a write up on the job on Just Commodores. Recently after 4years, intake is dry and clean still. If the holes are drilled too big, the PCV fails to work as it should and vapours can find their way into the intake pipe, have less oiling in the top of the motor, and oil up the MAF sensor.

water in the coolant??????

Hi, is this diesel model? If yes I need same srs spring clock, do you know where to buy a exact same as in this video?

The orchestra you use in the video doesn't suit the content.

Great video mate keep it up!

Bruh

Bravo ! I have the same car as you and I really enjoyed your video. Excellent fixed .... Sorry for my English but I'm using the Google translate

2:54 nah it's cos that sensor clip is a bitch to get off, I couldn't figure it out when I did the oil pressure sensor so kept it on and split the top of the airbox and intake hose. 4:02 have the radio code at hand but you won't need it, I had the battery disconnected for over 45 mins and it remembered everything, pretty sure it has a ROM chip in it.

Hey, where did you get the seals, gaskets..etc all from? Also what ignition coils did you use?

That air filter casing is a real pos. Love you went in on it.

Parabens pelo video que capricho ...sou do brasil e vi q vc usa uma tampa de radiador diferente da original ela e boa? Peguei o codigo dela e estou querendo importar ...aqui no meu pais nao acjo tampa do radiador ...

mate, what's the size of oil drain bolt gasket?

I always forget the screw behind the handle lmao

the small blue locking piece should be installed? or should it be removed?

I can totally feel you on the air filter, it takes me ages to get it on and off.

Quick question, I have a 2009 Lancer ES 2.0 . I’ve been using 5w -20 should I be using 5w - 40 instead?

This was great and well done video. You should think about servicing those nails though haha

What did you tork the manifold bolts down too? I need to pull my manifold off to install some manifold insulators.

Did it. Just take your time. Great advice.

29:00 if anyone is here using a torque wrench for the first time and perhaps brought a new one down at the local supercheap make sure to test your setting on something else first. Eg.. set to 12Nm as said but go try it on something that should already be torqued way past 12Nm that way you know its working how you expect - there would be nothing worse than over torquing one of these bolts (or worse going past that point) and working out later you had the setting wrong/learning incorrectly as the length on these torque wrenches are often decent to apply a substantial amount of force easily without even realising when dealing in the 10-30Nm ranges.

4:48 I call that my special holden tool too don't worry. 😂👍🙉

Thank you. You’ve given me confidence to do it myself. Very thorough and informative.

I'm making this thank you King Louis for sharing

love this

This took too long, if you quit farting around the job would have been finished in 10 mins

Thanks mate very helpful 🍻

Hi mate,my alloy tech engine having a leak at the front both side is it came the rocker cover?

Thank you so much this helped me heaps!

I have a 04 holden vz I've done sparks and coil packs as my motor has some out of it shake to it makes the car rock while idling what would be the cause of that all pullys etc sit fine and sits at revs normal no jumping or missing

Nice video cheers! We have issues with ours currently haha

Legend at it

Engine looks very clean mate. What oil are you using?

nice!

Sir Where is the pcv in lumina LS V6 2007

"In the bin!" - MCM, 2021

Br00tal

Thanks 👍

The studs on the strut towers that you bolt the brace to has nothing to do with holding the springs on it’s only there for the brace

brilliant instruction video. Well done. In my saved list

Are thos even spark plug seals facing the right way ?

FYI those nuts that hold the strut brace in have nothing to do with the springs

I actually just loosened the bolts to in intake manifold and was able to remove spark plugs without it's complete removal .

You came that far Bro I wouldev done the chains too. good vid cheers.

Awesome videos Castle Bravo. Very generous with your knowledge. Its very fortunate for me that I found your video as I am about to undertake exactly the same job on my 2006 Rodeo ie coils, spark plugs, PCV mod and rocker cover gaskets. I now have your video to walk me through it! Heres cheers

Another great video mate! Worked on engines a lot in your time? Detailed video is great we might need to do this ourselves at somepoint.

not bad. good size

That KeithShizuo guy sounds pretty cool. ill check him out

It's actually a commodore, with adventra badge on it lol

Hi mate when’s part 2 coming out and what did you end up doing with the pcv?

Nice video mate.
