  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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
