Thought some of you would enjoy this as i have http://www.toyota-global.com/showroom/vehicle_heritage/corolla/origin/timeline.html Also this video is a classic, in japanese though i think http://www.toyota-global.com/showroom/vehicle_heritage/corolla/gallery/index_flv.html classic rollas

i will have to take pics so people can see the differences thanks

ok i have a 5 speed gearbox that has a ke70 rear housing but i am unsure of the front half what model its from. Its not the same as a ke55 or a ke70 as i have both of those 5 speeds and the bolt pattern for the bell housing is different. The bellhousing has a flat section at the very top with a bolt hole. Is this pattern to suit a 3k? Did they come out 5 speed? Any help would be good. Thanks Chris

a bit more info... is the starter motor turning over? is there spark at the plugs? is there power at the starter motor? is the motor properly earthed? its just more info makes it easier to help without seeing the car. thanks chris

if you spent all that money on the engine its possible they replaced it and didnt put it in properly. check your reciepts

they will be going to the emission control stuff.

yeah cheers i will measure the chambers but i just want a starting point to get a head that i can use. need to suss the whole motor out as it wont just be a "lets build it quick and cheap" job. do it once and do it right. thanks for the info.

just to add to this, i got scott's 5k and it doesnt have flat top pistons, its running the dished d shape pistons that my other 5k i have has. the 5k i compared it to has the lugs on no 1 and 4, 150mm push rods, d pistons and a small amount of combustion space in the head. so this means that it is running the 22cc psitons and requires a small amount of space in the head for combustion. now the question, i also have a 4k but that has a large combustion chamber in the head. the 5k from scott had a large compession area in the head which had been shaved down to decrease the area. do i use a dished piston head from a 4k or will i have to use a d piston 5k head. i have been doing some searching and i think as long as i don't use a flat top 4k head (as that will increase my combustion chamber size too much) i will be ok? i thought i would just add to this thread instead of starting a new one. thanks chris

i have seen 20 rails they seem different i think this will be model specific.

i didnt even know about this section of rollaclub. could be why you havent had more replies. cruises sound good to me just need the notice and if its a goer. chris

yes yoda thats the perfect fix. and luke i agree, if you just play with cars and have no idea just say so

i would be changing the box mate and be done with the issue. if it has happened once it will happen again. hope this helps chris

have used this advise and its worked for me so far. :dance:

i can answer this one, everything is already sold.

try ringing an exhaust shop tomorrow they will source it alot faster then just looking up ebay
