Yup, definitely tried that a few times after turning off/on different things.

It doesn't even show in task manager.

Re: V6 Timing chain questions.

Not price difference these days between a single or double. I assume the reinforced single is plenty for adding boost to the Ecotec. Single would also save the need to the thicker oil cover. I also take it balance shaft can still be disengaged with the singe ? Yes you can, you just need to leave th...

Re: V6 Timing chain questions.

I was looking at my new Roll Master 304 timing chain, double row, the crank sprocket is case hardened but the cam sprocket isn't. Seems weird to not do both. Holden 6 & V8 came std with an oil squirter for the timing gears/chain. I'd forgotten about the straight 6's, remember the fibre gear.

Re: V6 Timing chain questions.

How many miles do they put on a timing chain though before it's replaced? Not sure, they do hours of use instead. I vaguely recall something like 50 hours? I assume an average speed of 160kh/h which I recall reading somewhere once, I think how they were our fastest race cars for a long time, averag...

Re: 4l60 no 4th gear

Intermittent faults are a bitch.

Next time out try going 100% TPS and see if the fault re-occurs.

Re: 4l60 no 4th gear

Shift points are governed by road speed and TPS. Make sure both of those are reading correctly first.
