I need KE70's user manual. any one have its soft copy?

Few more updates. Last week i have purchased another KE70 as a donor for this car. On coming weekend I am going to work on car electrics especially headlights. I am going to install relays to enhance the lousy headlights. few days back found a AC relay box of some Toyota Suv. which really fascinated me so i bought it along with relays but without harness. pictures are on the way of 2nd KE70 and then of relay box.

Now reassembling

@blzbub666 you are absolutely right one of the dirtiest. but reason was crankshaft seal was broken and oil coming out through this. it took lot of time to clean it up app 12-16 hours

Initially I was thinking to go with standard piston and same bore but after a detail checkup found that there are few scratches in bore and when we placed "0" size rings in this bore there was gap between ring ends gap was near about 0.3cm. So now re-bored at 0.50

Now purchasing side. 1. Piston & Pin (0.50) 2. Ring Set (0.50) 3. Main Bearing, Set (0.50) 4. Thrust Bearing,Crankshaft 5. Valve Set 6. Valve Guide 7. Bearing, Connecting Rod 8. Bearing Set, Camshaft 9. Sprocket, Camshaft 10. Gasket & Seal Kit complete 11. Timing Chain 12. Tensioner, Timing Chain 13. Oil Pump 14. Water Body

Few other dirty parts. Engine mount was very weak. Cam Shaft was in good shape Greasey uhhhh Starter Motor

@blzbub666 For the time being I am just overhauling it.

Few other photos of crank, pistons and head while washing Engine Water body, its bearing was also making some noise.

Pistons were at standard size "0" Crank Shaft was already at "0.25" Moving toward head Valves were in very bad shape you can see in pics.

Apologies for the delay. Photos when we started our work In Rocker arms Cover you can see that water and oil mixed in yellow color Block Assembly Pistons not in good shape 2 of them were quite rough from sides

Hi Guys, one important news. Motor is approximately ready today we will put it in. updates regarding the motor overhauling are on the way. will be posting them in a while.

Tomorrow I am going to overhaul the engine. There is some noise in timing chain along with that i am going to replace rings and valves. If all goes well we will also change the clutch set(Clutch Plates, Pressure Plate and clutch bearing) Hope for the best.

Here you can see rust and grease Very Bad in condition Dash dust (ughh)

@LittleRedSpirit 100% Agreed with you. But here electricians are really annoying. they don't care about the clips just cut the wire rejoin and insulate with tape and continue to work. but i am trying to remove such joints.

Progress on the weekend Saturday Progress – it was freaking cold there temp was near -1°C but still managed to work 1. Steering Rack changed - previous one was in very bad shape. 2. Steering arms reused. Both were in good condition 3. Lower Control arms changed 4. Front struts one of them changed because it was damaged. 5. Springs changed front/back previous ones were wielded 2 inch packing was placed. Now packing is removed and new springs in place 6. Shock absorbers are replaced. Day ended with washing engine bay, using degreasers and rest of the car cleaned up there was huge deposit of mud underneath. Sunday it was little bit dedicated for dash/ electrical started my work bit late 1. Opened the dash and there was huge amount of dust. 2. Tried to clean it up with air pressure but all in vain. Then used the paint brush and all done manually. Due to cold/bad light winded up my work just screwing back the parts. And found that there is some problem with indicators/ break switch/ hand break switch/ reverse light cause none of them working now….lol Now again have to wait for 5 office working days. Photos are on the way will be posting in a while.

One more thing, how i can repair my dash every thing is good with it except one corner you can see in marked area. suggestions are welcomed.

ahaan Thanks. Here i am able to find the new chrome ones(both front and back)local made for 40$. but there chrome isn't that good.

@all Please suggest should i stick with these long plastic bumpers or fetch a chromed ones?

Yups Diesel models are also available here but this one is on petrol with 4k engine

@TheNOBBLER You are right its a hole, but rust is on inner quarter wheel house. which is quite annoying. still hope for the best. Yup Quite different from assuie specs. one more thing. its refurbished by company in 1996.

@ewt Thanks dude for your interest. But mostly work is planned on weekends due to office routine. But i will try my level best to update thread regularly.

@All On coming weekend I am going to start my work. Things in to do list are 1. Power Steering installation (from AE86) 2. Lower Control Arm Bushes 3. Ball Joints & Bushes 4. front & back shocks replacement + springs 5. New Tie Rod Ends, New boots 6. Front Caster bar bushes 7. Front Swar bar bushes Beside that i am feeling there is slight blow in engine. so i am going to replace piston rings, valves and gasket.
