New top end rebuild, skimmed heads and new gaskets etc

Eventually looking to throttle body it :thumb:

Looks clean. DIY rebuild?

Yeah, hope she works ok, v6's are kind of my bread and butter though really

[astraluke]

nutter lol

No, that would be putting it in a nova!!!!

[valvercorsa]

my idea exactly lol bang it in a nova :P sell me engine i will bang it in mine lol

[Adam*D]

No, that would be putting it in a nova!!!!

Get it in man! my mate has a 3.0 V6 corsa and it's fooooking mental!
Can't get anywhere near him in a XE nova:eek: even give 1 of the other lads a good fight in an escos!lol

[brainsnova]

say "cheese" (profile pic) lol

[astraluke]

the nova has a 20ne which in time will be turboed,

Cavalier will have a 3.0 v6 6 speed

and the astra will (eventually) be a 3.0 twin turbo 6 speed 4wd track car

There is also the 525i (never lets me down)

and the Daihatsu Rocky (fourtrak) which is only there to be abused!!!

So, i haven't really got the time to but a 3.0 in a nova/corsa, plus i'd feel a lot safer at speed in the cav!!!!

nice idea for the throttle bodies

[stupot89]

[astraluke]
