I believe they also suffered from people thinking them so indestructible as their pushrod forebears and neglecting maintenance.


Sensitive to oil quality and servicing, 15,000km is too long between services for Alloytec.

Ecotec was a great engine, the only problems they have is intake gaskets, CKP and DFI module/coils - a bit rough around the edges but tough as a $2 steak and a good P plate weapon 😎
