DELCOS NEW RIDE

[Holden202T]

Ecotec has something similar, weather the holes all line up or not though is another question.

is that an aftermarket thing ? got a brand name on it ?

As far as we are aware its totally stock out of a v6.i presume it must be very early vn .the guy had it in his scrap pile and is trying to find the 2nd one for mei have it bolted on a head its definately fits vn-vr but ive never seen this kind of setup normakly just the rocker support style.

i'll try and remember to fish out the ecotec ones i have and see if they line up ... but also looking at yours its got large holes for the bolts, so thats something early ish .... maybe S1 vn ?

It's from a standard VN series 1 engine. I just dumped a complete valve train with those plates.

i stumbled accross 1 of these today first time ive seen one in a v6 commi pushrod guideplate.im trying to find a 2nd one for the starlet so i can run posilock style stud mounted roller rockers.has anyone else seen these in any holden v6

Hey delco I have a 1988 series 1 vn v6 manual motor in pieces and it has those plates as well!

[delcowizzid]

so many little changes in the S1 that ive obviously never seen this version LOL.opens up a world of adjustable roller rockers at a real low price wooot

[Holden202T]

so the next question, is there enough room to machine down the rocker pedistals for screw in studs ?

[delcowizzid]

theres enough room as is to wind in chev studs and use posilocks now that i have a guideplate and dont need to make them LOL.ill borrow 6 1.65 chev rockers during the week for mock up

[Holden202T]

nice!
