Clapped out

hows about some pics so we can all see! ;)

one engine that wasnt mentioned, the crappy 4 cylinder starfire (chopped down holden 6) motor which is a 2ltr!

That is so true!

Hi there mate, i hate fuel troubles! lol! yes there is suppose to be a rubber 'O' ring that sits between the sender and the tank, obviously when the sender is pulled out of the car, you can see where it sits on the underside of the sender! roughly 2.5 inches in diametre. hope this helps! :cool:

i like granny spec! i rekon kellys wrecking is more than likely the only wreckers in se queensland that still stock older cars? Its a gold mine!

Well, I SPOTTED a yellow ke55 tonight on samford road, ferny hills, tidy, but the wheels caught my headlights, polished jellybeans! mmmmm.........pppppooooolllliiiisssshhhheeeedddd! :cool:

Too easy! let us know if you do run into trouble, i had this problem with my 3t-g, i know its a different head and all, it can be solved easily if need so.

What are you doing with your 5 spoke wheels? did you want to part with them? :yes:

Looking good mate! I'm not being picky or anything when i say this, when it comes time to bolt the carbs on you may run into trouble, in the pics it seems like there isnt enough room between the manifold and the master cylender???

surely she can't be that bad.....................can she???? :y:

Good to see your still making progress!!! il bet your looking foward to the day when she will be finished? keep up the good work! :y:

good to hear you got it all sorted! :y: At least now you know what too look for next time.

hey there, you have the late ke30 dizzy, 77 & 78 models, points you need, bosch GB534, just cross reference in the book for the condensor, hope that helps you? correct me people if I'm wrong!! :y:

I'm pretty sure that most people would agree with me here, if i too had to make the choice between a sprinter or a hard top, i would say id definatly go for the sprinter, its not every day you come across them.

MMMMMM, that yellow coupe looks familar!

Pm sent! :y: :jamie:

hi there D.Mckiggan, ive already had the engine sorted out in the cam shafts depaertment, on my engine they have 4 different location points on each cam shaft, too a while but they got the timing correct with them, also i don't suppose you could email me a copy of the info on the timing setup? like the tensioners and runners? ive only ever played around with k motors, t series engines are completely new to me, thakyou.

the early ke30 (74, 75, 76), i have only seen a handfull with factory black trimmed seats, either that or they have gone to alot of trouble to re-cover the seats in black, correct me if I'm wrong?

thats not a bad idea, i would only be a spectator though, i don't have a fast car, lol, i was thinking a drive with a midday bbq somewhere????? :jamie:

Hey all! i know this sounds retarded but I'm keen for another cruise! yes i know we just had one a month ago but i thought id get in early to see if anyone is interested?

>no, > yes.

Ive already tried sourcing 18r-g sprockets as well, no luck, everywhere i went they said to me that they don't produce them anymore, or either I'm not searching hard enough?

the timing chain is brand new, at times it rattles that bad its scary! :)

Hey all, long story cut short, i just put a 3t-g into my ke30, the engine has been completely rebuilt EXCEPT the only items they couldnt buy brand new were- >cam gears >timing chain guides They said they were in good enough condition to reuse. Problem is when i drive the car 100km distance or so, the timing chain loses tension, so i have to adjust the tensioner to take the slack of the timing chain, and now after doing this several times i have run out of adjustment on the tensioner and can't be done anymore. what do i do?????????? what keeps causing this????????????? is the new chain wearing itself to suit the old sprokets????????? Any thoughts, ideas, feedback would be greatly appreciated in helping me solve this problem! Thanks!!!!!!

hey there, ive done this a million times, just go down to DOT with the car, ask for the form where you can change the cars "particulars", eg. engine number, colour etc, (not exactly sure the exact name of the form is) fill it out and hand it in, it doesnt cost a thing.
