Hi All thanks everyone, I’ll try all of the above and get back with what worked for me ASAP cheers max666

Hi all 1983 ke70 1.3 4k Engine. the fuel gauge is erratic, when I fill up the gauge reads 3/4 never reads full and if there’s roughly 1/2 tank it will sometimes read nearly empty. Is this an issue with the Ke? Appreciate any help. cheers Max

Hi Banjo thanks for all your input, even though that’s all above my skill level at the moment, you made it sound very interesting and doable in the future. thanks again Cheers Max

Hi All i want to start getting together some parts for an upgrade to the ke70. my question is what’s the best way to go in changing out the stock brakes and any suggestions on how to go about it , parts I need and where I can get them. if there’s a suitable bolt one option out there as I don’t really want to change out the whole front end. Thanks for any information. max666

Thanks for your reply and information. i had a chance to do it over this afternoon with no distractions and I gapped the valves really close, and to my relief it ran like a new one. So one again, thankyou corolla gurus for the input . cheers Max666

Hi All just an update on my valve clearance problem. i started from scratch and adjusted all the intake and exhaust clearances , put everything back together and to my frustration I still have the loud tapping noise. i noticed that one of the rocker arms was very loose if that makes a difference to anyone..... thanks again

Hi yeah I did all the process correct except the revolution on cycinder 3 to tbc and I think I loosed the lock nut and did something to the rocker arm ....

Thanks for the information, I’ll give it a go tomorrow. I think what I did was I didn’t do a full revolution to TDC after adjusting cyclinder 2 . hope I making sense cheers max666

Hi All so I decided to do some maintenance on the sons Ke70 with a 4k in it, and I had a go at the valve clearance, according to the manual I have are correct, intake 0.20 exhaust 0.30 but when I put everything back together, I now have a loud taping from under the rocker cover. i must have adjusted something incorrectly (no: 3 cylinder I think) i may not have turned the motor 360” to do the valve clearance, on that one, just can’t remember. any help would be appreciated. And if I drive it, will I damage anything? ( I’m not my sons favourite at the moment) cheers Max

Bascally what’s the process of getting one ? has anyone here gone through with the process and who do I talk to? thanks for any information cheers Max666

I All thank for everyone’s help, I got the old girl running again, it was the timing, way out! My mistake, it was a case of it ain’t broke. cheers Max

Hi All id like to hear anyone's thoughts on a 4Y transplant in a ke70. Has anyone done it, mainly as a civil daily driver. Any input greatly appreciated. cheers Max666

Hi KE70Dave thanks for that, since I put up the post, I found out it's called a Bailey channel, now I have to find some for both the Ke and my sons type R . Off to Clark Rubber it is . thanks again

Hi All Just a question about the rubber tracks that the window slides up and down in. Are they model specific or are they for lack of a better word, available by the meter off a roll? Thanks for advice

Thanks for the information, I'm sure I can do it, just thought there may be something more needed to know, thanks again Max666

Hi All so I've got my king springs and more shocks for my 82 ke70. is there a how to that will show me the process on here? I'm confident in doing the swap, just thought there may be something I can learn off someone that may have done this before. Cheers Max

Where are you located, I'm interested cheers max666

Hi I'd like to find out about them too, have you had any luck with the carby? cheers max666

Thankyou Ke70dave in that case, is there a step by step on the ae86 conversion, as this car is a father / son project, and safety is my priority. I'm looking longer term, at an engine swap as the 4K is pretty tired. So the priority is to upgrade the braking for now.

Hi all does anyone have a step by step, to do a drum to disc conversion on an 82 ke70 please? thanks for any info

Hi Banjo thankscfor the interest, unfortunatly my mechanic mate is doing shift work and hasn't been able to come over. But as soon as I have a answer I'll post it up. cheers max

Can the timing chain jump a tooth in any circumstance?
