Ecotec was a rough old nugget, but were just as indestructible as the Falcon six without the headgasket issues.

My parentage was not of Ford origin, but of Holden, so don't ask me how or why I landed in the blue camp. My father owned a number of Holden's, although none after I was born. He has always been adamant that the 186 was the best 6-cylinder engine they made, in particular the specific balance between capacity/ability to rev, and how they responded to modifications.

I got love for the Ecotec/Buick V6, thats the best modern-era GM 6 cylinder ever.
Yeah its rough, but **** its indestructible, just everything about it, even electrically its good. That era Commodore basically only do intake manifold gaskets, DFI, coil packs, CKP, ignition key slip rings and sometimes BCM. The HF V6 'Alloytec' successor is an absolute turd from a reliability standpoint in comparison. |

For the more recent era I like their ecotec, but without being a mechanic I'd be stuffed trying to replace that timing sensor thingy on the side of the highway. If I had the space: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...17227521/?Cr=0 Do you have space for that wags Franco?
