You can get rid of that noise for $500 and an afternoon

I plan to do as much mechanical work as I can by my self
I just want to lock down what it is before I spend money replacing good parts

From what I've heard it can be caused by bad gaskets, loose plugs or holes in the exhaust. I would check those before you start to dig into the motor

Ohhhh neat. You either must have a holden or pieced one together from parts (I did the latter), as they never put the rectangular port heads on a 6.0 in that configuration in the states. I've actually done a lot of reading in the holden forums about that particular engine. Have you done anything to it?
How many miles? A sewing-machine-like sound is typically valvetrain related, you might pop the valve covers and make sure everything is to spec.

Hnng Id love an FGX
Shame Ford Australia ran out of funding though and the interior is 10 years old
Id love a manual v8 wagon but they are ultra rare in any generation other than the VE (Pontiac G8)

If money was no issue though the new HSV Clubsports are stunning and brutal
