Offroad-Express

Hi guys, going to be showing my truck a bit of love when I come back to NZ for a 'holiday', and thought while it is very easliy accessible I'd tinker with the motor slightly. Just after opinions on what I should do. Don't want to do a full rebuild, just a freshen up, new bearings?, seals etc. frost plugs? Oil has got a petrol smell to it as well which I'd like to sort out.
Thanks in advance

I just brought a new stage 4 (drag) memcal for my 5l vp. Haven't used it yet but supposed to give around 20% power but you will probably use 20% more fuel (trailer rig so doesnt matter) it uses the Hsv tune. They are surprisingly cheap on trademe at the moment.

Check out the mace engineering website for all sorts of goodies for commy v6s.

Wouldn't bother if I were you. Got a stage 3 for mine and all it did was take away some top end power. Was a waste of money for me, hopefully a better result for you.

Thanks will have a look.

It cost just under 900 for rings/bearing/gasket set. For my VY, and thats at trade.
