Very Cheap Race Car build Episode 3, Buick V6 Engine Build KCK Racing Australia

[@johnpro2847]

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

[@KCKLubricants]

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

I have a 5litre vn motor in my hz. Would love to downsize to this little beauty. Just for daily driver reliability and fuel economy.
Thanks for the video.

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

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.

[@Gerardus1970]

Yes.

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.

@@KCKLubricants Thanks for answering!. What model of car was that engine because I have seen models with the tray without a belly?

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.

Good video mate.

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 ..

[@KCKLubricants]
