I got this ke10 lined up ready to buy, and i wanted to rebuild the engine from scratch MYSELF.
I'm not going to try and grab some extra hp out of the engine or anything.
Is there any online engine manuals I can download to help me build the engine, stating all the torque settings, lubricants and dial-in numbers, etc, that i need?
If not, where can i get some engine manuals from, in book form obviously?
Has anybody got any experience in building these engines, or any advice?
Any machine shops in Melbourne have previous experience with these engines that you know of or would recomend for me?
What parts would i be able to save and re-use? also, what parts wouldn't i?
The parts that i will need, where can i get them from anyway?
How do the crank, rods and pistons hold up? I'm guessing i'll need new pistons, but will the rods and crank be ok? what about the cam?
Is the head simple to recondition myself, or will that need to be outsourced?
Any advice and infomation would be greatly appreciated, even pictures wouldn't be a problem.
Also, on a side note, this particular e10 is auto, 2 speed toyoglide, what manual gearboxes came in ke10s? what are they called, and are they rare to source?
Thanks, I'm sort of new to corolla's, I've had a ke30 and ke55, and I'm restoring a friends ke30 2-door, but I'm new to engine rebuilding.
