I rather certain that the 1X Toyota 4-cyl ran the same water pump as the Starfire 4. It was the same as the Holden 6. There were 2 different lengths of Holden 6 pump at this time, but I think that the the UC & the Toyo had the earlier (short) pump & the Commodore 4 had the later (long) pump.
There are quite a few differences between the Starfire & the Commodore 4, different cam, head casting etc. etc. The VH version also had "Pulsar" air injection.

How about them Nissan 3.0L 6cyl in the VL, I had a dude say that they were rubbish and had problems, I said the only problems were due to idiots not servicing them, many people could get away with abusing the old cast iron engines and that's why most engines bugger up, but alloy heads don't take kindly to just water in the radiator.
I like the 3.3L from VC on some were harsher than others as they were not balanced, the VL 6 lacked the torque of the 3.3L but loved to rev and the turbo can really go well with more boost and 3 inch exhaust, the Skyline 3.0L would be my pick over the V6 VN Commodore any day and the sporty one got a bigger cam and the series 2 a bigger cam and some head work with 140KW.

Q c: What was it's proposed CI capacity? I seem to remember rumours of a Holden 4 (based on the Red 6) during the 60s for the HB Torana replacement. This became either the HBII or HBIII, later to become LC. Many capacities were proposed, from 1.4 to 2.0 litres. Dr Terry |

I remember that they claimed that the 124ci 2.0L was to harsh for the 4 cyl so they dropped it and went with the 115ci 1.9L. I remember my brothers 161 how smooth it was when winding it right out. Even with a fully balanced 202 you can feel the difference. One wonders why the old Jap Car engines 6cyl engines were so smooth to rev, well they were only 2.4L = 149, 2.6L = 161ci and 2.8L = 173ci people would claim how smooth they were over the 202 back in the days. Holden should of balance it's engines conrod's at least as the weights were a disgrace.
