hey there guy's, well, as you could probably tell, im along way from where your target audiance is, but here goes
currently in australia holden ( a gm company) are relesing a new motor, it's called the hfv6, it's a 3.6l dohc, it was gonna be a 3.8lt dohc but they were having problems in maintaing a smoth operation. so what i wanna now i guess iss
how can a 3.6lvt dohc motor work? if it's got the cam on top, and the crank on the bottom, well, what makes the cam move? probably a silly question, but all the v6's we have over here are pushrod style with a crank and cam in the bottom end with a push rod operating valves, so im guessing i wanna know how this type of setup will work, i know how a straight 6 works, but how does it fit into a v6 setup? also what type of torque and kw ratting can we expect from this new motor, we have been told that the 3.6 will be capable of pushing out 190kw, (not sure if you guy's operat in kw's over there, i think you guy's are still horse power).
what are the direct disadvantages from having a 3.6lv6 dohc motor as oposed to the 3.8lv6 pushrod setup, (the 3.6 lt pushrod is bassed on the buick motor, it's a 1989 design motor which has been re-vamped more times then i care to poke a stick at)
so any ideas or info would be good guy's, thanks for you help
