I have LPG factory fitted GM 3.8 litre. in my Holden VT. Car bought new in 1998.Now got 300,000km's and runs very well.The LPG does not carbon up like fuel.I have no overheating issues. Downside Is LPG is now not nearly as cheap as it was compared to fuel

Thanks for watching! I bet your oil even comes out clean on a service! much, much less carbon in the combustion process.

Hello, could you tell me what model the oil tray you put on it is? Thank you 👍. Excellent video

[@KCKLubricants]

Thanks for watching! It is the factory oil tray to fit into that car.

Is it true that in Australia the 3.8 came with a propane/ natural gas option?

[@the486man9]

Yes but it was shit and heads warped for days

[@whaddayawant2197]

@@the486man9 By the Era of that engine it should have been the stage 3 3.8L? That was around at that time in north America.. highly valued and highly dependable engine. Go figure.

[@KazpaRulez]

what paint did you use on the inlet manifold?

[@KCKLubricants]

Thanks for watchin, its 2k white. 2 reasons, it looked really crappy and the white will hopefully reflect some of the heat under the bonnet.

[@cpzmelbs]

Hey mate where can i find your engine oil in Melbourne looking to make the switch in the VY. The 3.8 is coming up to 250k Cheers

Are all ecotec 3.8 roller lifters, or early ones flat tappet ?

[@KCKLubricants]

Thanks for watching, Excellent question but to be honest we are not sure, we have only seen rollers in these.

[@micksmith3021]

Would like to see a mild performance build from a professional like your self's. Eg hot cam 9.5:1 or 10:1 compression ratio mild head and good inlet manifold port job. Decent ecu ECT ECT rest of the good bits No one seems to be doing them.. I'm building a vs Ecotec rally car. Some information from a professional engine michinechest/ builder would be appreciated ..
