Hi Guys Does anyone know what size the welsh plugs are on a 4k? I am referring to the 3 larger one on one side, not the 3 smaller ones Thanks

So I went to put in my 46.5mm welsh plug that I got from Sprints. Damn bastards gave me the wrong one, so I rang them and they said "nah we've never sold one that size" No kidding. Has anyone else had the same issues getting hold of a new one of these welsh plugs? Only Toyota can get one, they're not sure which is which so I just got them to order both back ones...... Now I have an unknown period to wait and it will hold up the engine install! I fly back to work monday so it'll be another 3 weeks before I get the damn car going....

hey all, i was going to get my spare 2T head mechined and i noticed that it is different then the one in my car, i know it's a T head but what? and if it will go on my other... if someone could tell me, that would be great.

You wouldnt believe the find i found this weekend? Went to the wreckers: HEAVEN i found a 1ggze engine, no gearbox or computer.... Me - looks at rolla, looks at engine, looks at rolla, looks at engine... 24valve straight six, supercharged! YUMO also, i found a set of k series extractors for $55.00, SWOOP! and to end the day in delight: - a 4k engine a 5spd k series gearbox and a 5k engine.... + i got offered a set a twin webbers.... WRECKERS ARE TOPS!!! :)

didnt get to bed lastnight until about 4am just doing the usual chilling as uni holidays are on. and this morning i get a knock on the door and someone has hit my car. i originally thought it was a joke as i have heard it before as my paddock basher ke70 doesnt have the best of good looks. and i went outside and it was actual hit and the lady that hit it was just standing there giving me her details. she was in new pajero. so theres some free cash for me :) ive been looking for an excuse to buy a new car. its bit of a fairy tap.

I want to fit Air conditioning into my 1994 Corolla Seca AE101. It has the 4age 20 valve silvertop engine in it at the moment and the air compressor is ALREADY attached but it requires everything else as it didn't come standard with AC. 1. Does anyone know what AC kits from what model corollas would fit to the compressor already attached to the silvertop engine? Are they interchangeable? 2. Can you recommend a wrecker for me to call that might have this part or deals with corollas? 3. Would it be hard to fit myself? The compressor is already attached to the engine so I imagine the dashboard needs removal to install the buttons/interface and the radiator would…

in the back of my datto wagon arent the usual spirngs I'm used to in toyotas.. there like 5 bars straped together. are these leaf springs? cheers

Hi, After looking around for some 4K infor mation I found there were a few versions that had more power than a standard 4K-C. So I wanted to do p bit of a list here with the good and bad parts of the 4K motor so when where at wreckers we can look out for them. eg. what version of the 4K came witha warmed up cam..etc. So feel free to add to it... As I have noticed onteh FAQ that the 4K-c has a lot less power than the 4K-U and it has same compression bore and stroke size.etc. So how was it better? So here goes: Good: Versions: 4K-E,H Twin 40mm Webers / Dellorto's Regrind cam, pick your power curve Aftermarket extractors and 2 inch system Shaved head or 3K bi…

for a toyota ke70 what is the widest wheels size you can have in NSW?. I was curious because i was looking into buying a ke70 but alot of the ones i was looking at where defected because the track width was to wide, but it gave the car a real cool stance. would like to have something like this.

Hey all i was looking on the diff from my ta22 and found these 2 numbers and was wondering what they meant one on the center around the bolt pattern has a stamped E then a bulging 21 picture below and on the center it has on a tag X 21 if anyone can shed some light on these cheers

Thees pistons are from a 3T engine. Are they anything special or just the standard items? Also what is this carburetor, I believe it goes onto the 3T as well? And would it be worth putting on in place of the the standard one? My engines only mods are extractors, exhaust and these pistons.

can any one tell me what these 2 rims are? as i want to sell them and i have no idea what they are or worth. i had origianlly thought they were star sharks but they are a little bit different cheers Heath

http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadil...um/t-91248.html Some interesting discussion as to whether to re-use piston rings there. I have an engine that has been "dusted" and has some oil consumption issues. Upon disassembly I have found the cross hatch to be scored and not very nice looking, but the rings and pistons seem ok. Is it possible to hone the cylinders with a bottle-brush type hone, and clean and reuse the rings? I will be probably replacing the cylinder head as well so there is no play in valve guides and there will be new valve stem oil seals so that will take care of oil consumption from that angle. Apparently bearings can not be reused suc…

People keep saying this is a after market clutch but i have my doubts... It just looks sooo, stock :D

Just wondering what clutch you guys use? (drift, circuit, sprint or hillclimb) I'm looking to replace mine with something heavy duty and after market. Was thinking the 3puck copper clutch from exedy through t3 for 350 and it comes with aligning tool etc etc. Just swinging the spanner of options haha. Cheers! Jesse.
