    If it ant broke don't fix it

    Isn't clunking a bit normal and I though that a little bit of noise could also be normal

    Drive it abit it might go for years

    I had a mates father who remove a 202 from his car because it had a tick in it and put in another motor In,this motor used no oil and run well .I talked a mate into buying it and putting in his ute 20 years latter I think this motor is still ticking away .

    They are the last and the best and the youngest. VK V8 and late WB Statesman are OK too.

    I'll bet the KIngswood didn't have an external oil cooler on it, and a standard 2 row radiator! A HZ trimatic only 40,000kM old with an external oil cooler should tow all day!

    Dead right! no oil cooler, was also 2 core radiator. that was fixed when the 5.0 went in, have always run aftermarket trans cooler since then in every auto since, life savers when towing heavy loads.
