SHE'S FINALLY RUNNING - VL COMMODORE BUILD - EP 4 

Check the timing first as it sounds like it too far advanced when cranking either that or you have a stuck open injector dribbling into the cylinder causing semi hydraulic lock as it’s really struggling to crank properly

Young fulla working his way up to the famous dose dose

If ya want it painted lad let me know happy to do a closed door for ya to support ya channel and you can come do a few days of the prep and what not and make a vid outa it and help me get me name out a bit 😊

First car I remember was my dads vl exec in cream white. Eventually had to scrap it due to rust, particularly the boot was rusted out likely from crab traps. Towed boat from Sydney to Byron plus a bunch of extras when we moved house. Champion car. This sort of thing your doing with your son is something I wish I could have done with my dad, which I said many times as a kid. End up doing my own cars. Two sss pulsars, vzr pulsar, engine swapped is200. Would love a old Holden if I found one for decent price

VH station wagon springs cut down in the rear & FE2 front springs with lower struts.

Well done boys great work, I would also check if the air flow meter is working while the car is running, disconnect it and see if it makes a difference, also the new spark plugs are probably fouled up due to running no airflow meter and no o2 sensor, hence why there was black smoke coming out of it , it would of been running really rich, its happend to me before , pull one spark out and inspect it!! Let me know how it goes 😊

Yes finally she’s alive mate good one buddy

Sweet as 😊 New Subscriber #643 and we hit the bell👊 Cheers🍺🍻🍺🍻 KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺😎👍✌

Top job lads, we'll see you on the cruise route very soon 🤟

"that's an eye wash station" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Omg man nice job I have a Sa VL 5.0L BT1 and a SA VN Bt1 and the areo start I recommend in ep2 helped I'm so proud of you man nice job on getting your vl running

Hell yeah man well done, The big smile lol

Throw a timing light on it , not sure if you adjusted the idle screw on the idle control motor?

gonna be an awesome car once it's up and going properly

Good video! Their a great learning curve specially the rb30s. They have temperamental issues, also I've got 2nd shocks, they were working fine I just bought new. If you paid postage. I'd happily send them to contribute towards the build. I have a rb30 auto tps A few bits and bobs. If needed

Blue wires are for oil pressure light and oil pressure gauge.

Nice work

Excellent

Well done getting it running! Big milestone achieved. The young fella is making plenty of turbo noises, hopefully a sign of things to come. What are the blue wires connected to? From memory knock sensors screw into the block on that side around that location however I'm not sure if NA cars had knock sensors? Would putting the o2 sensor back in and hooking it up help with idle potentially?

Hectic 😊

congrats guys !!

love your vids

Onya boys 👍🏾🤎

Are you guys gonna keep the patina on this thing? Looks tuff!

Where did you get the contraption to clean the injectors

The low fuel pressure may be also caused by a stuck injector

cool. Can we talk about sponsorship?

The timing is way too advanced and by the look of where the distributor is sitting it is a tooth out
