Engine trouble

[HK1837]

Yep, worst GMH engine, not far from the Opel big block in the LH 4cyl Torana though. Can you imagine (if you haven't driven one) how bad a UC Sunbird or VC 4cyl Commodore with auto and 3.9:1 diff running 13" wheels was?? At least the Sunbird handled and steered beautifully. Jump back into a 1.9 Opel LH-LX 4cyl Torana (pre LX Sunbird which came with RTS) with aussie 4spd M20, body mounted shifter and 3.9 diff. Handled like a HQ, ran out of puff at 80kM/h, got out-sprinted by a pushbike and all the remote mounted shifter issues of a HK. And people still bought the pieces of junk! I reckon it'd be more comfortable driving a ride on mower on the freeway!

Heard a story once about a 4 cylinder commodore. It was so bad that it got stolen and the thieves returned it lol.
