Monday, spending 4 hours to undo two nuts on the AE92. :bash:
The 2 nuts that hold the water pump backing plate to the water pipe behind the block were stripped bad. Absolute pricks of things to get to. I hate working on FWD cars.

2Y and 4Y motors have a shorter stroke than a 7k. :hmm:
7K's have a wider block (compared to 5k) to accommodate the increased stroke.

Soft. Needs a lift kit and 38" tyres.

I sat an old head gasket from a 4afe on top of a 5k block at one time. The bore spacing of a 5k is pretty much identical to 4A series motors.

I found some old fuel economy figures from when I was running a 4k.
Car: ke15 with a 4k (270 deg cam, portwork, 9.85:1 CR) + 5 speed running a 28/36 dcd Weber.
At the time I was doing some delivery driving in around the suburbs south of Brisbane. I did 1302 km for 101 liters of fuel. 7.76 l/100km or 12.89 km/l. On the cruise it was better. Not bad for a thing that would easily outrun your average 6 cyl falcadore.

Nice car, looks like an alright pickup. Pity about the oil leak.
I find the bimmerboard.com forums to be the best source of info for my E32 7er. Get your parts from the US... I find including post it works out to about 1/4 to 1/3 of local prices.

MG Metro Turbos had a blowthru SU HIF44. Ebay UK might be a good place to find one.

that is not correct,shannons policy is that the car doesnt have to be legally modified,it only has to be in a roadworthy condition.
i have 80k worth of cars insured through shannons and it costs me about $1200 a year....
Well maybe not, but:
"Modified vehicles modifications and non-standard
accessories to your motor vehicle are covered if we
agree and are shown on your certificate."
Quote from Shannons PDS.
-
Get yourself at least 3rd party property damage.... to at least cover the other car if you are at fault in an accident.
3rd party fire and theft is better.
Full comprehensive is good, but not really worthwhile for a 2 grand car. Maybe if you've spent a heap of cash on (legal) mods go to say Shannons and get agreed value, you'll pay though depending on your age/mods.
If you have illegal non-mod plated modifications you may as well not bother with insurance. The insurance company will void your claim if you cause an accident and you'll be responsible for repairs for both your car and the other parties.

What sort of oil filter are you running?

Where's Johnny???

5K Solid Lifters - Simple Idea

Try with the top washer seat thing the normal way up. You will want 3k pushrods, or better still k (1077cc) pushrods.
Keep in mind 3k pushrods came in varying lengths.... you want the shorter ones. It has been a while, i can't remember which exact model of 3k to go for.
