yeah just did mine cos it overheated, blew the gasket and warped the head :( then to top things off, the coolant went into the oil :( 1. remove inlet and exhaust manifolds, spark plugs, leads and dissy cap 2. remove two bolts and on the top of the rocker cover and remove rocker cover 3. remove rocker gear 4. in opposite, diagonal order, remove the cylinder head bolts 5. pull off cylinder head 6. remove and discard gasket and check block and cylinder head for warping 7. (optional) remove and regrind valves into seats 8. install cylinder head with bolts in opposite diagonal order to correct torque (if u can get the bolts in corrent order from a book then thats better 9. install rocker gear, 10. install rocker cover 11. install spark plugs, leads, dissy cap, and manifolds 12. run engine till operating temp and then adjust tappets thats the very basic process that i did and it worked a charm :) good luck

cheers man and nah I'm in adelaide :(

I'm doing the same thing on my ke70 soonish is the clutch the same for both boxes?

Is it the clutch?? Man or auto??

Hello all, I have bought a nice ke70 5speed gearbox Now I had a look at the connector for the reverse lights and the connector is different What do I do?? Also there is a blue lead also separate coming off it, what does it do?? All info helps Cheers Scotty

yes mate there is a secret... make sure ALL the screws are undone (including radio nuts) then GENTLY pull the whole facia from the bottom down then rotate (bottom becomes top) being careful of the plastic steering column. tip: allways move from the bottom. works a charm for me :) good luck mate

any other ideas?

i don't know how i bent it. havent been up any gutters on this one the odd skid wouldnt do that would it? maybe a drift? but i have been well away from gutters

yeah, i did them about 10,000 kms ago would the panhard rod being a littke bent be the issue?

hello everyone i have a small problem with my KE70, i thought last night (whilst it was wet) that i test out the brakes, so at 12am! i was on the road travelling at 60 and i hit the brakes, it initally stopped straight but half way through it slided to the left and nearly went 90 degrees! i know that these cars are supposed to pull up straight. i have assumed that it may be the brakes but I'm not too sure, any ideas?? btw i made sure i didnt crash!! all help will be good cheers scotty

any easy ways of checking the inner bearing? and if the axel is bent? cheers

hello everyone i am having constant problems with the bearings on the shafts. I'm on the seccond set of shafts and have repacked bearings twice on this lot i get a whyne from the passengers side (i have diagnosed this side from jacking the car up and listening to the noise whilst in gear) it sounds like somthings rubbing on the side of the wheel but the noise is there when the wheel is on and off as well as the brake drum on and off is there another bearing on the inside of the diff near the centre that needs repacking or replacing? should or how do i get the bearing changed on the shaft? or maybe a new diff? all help will be appreciated cheers scott

but will the fifth gear be worthwhile? what will the rpm be at 100km/h?

hello everyone. i am / have purchased a ke70 5speed box for my ke70 my current diff is getting old and making noises, when the five speed goes in, do i need to change the axel to one with a different ratio? cheers scott

hello everyone has anyone removed the axel shafts on a ke70? i have removed the wheel, brake drum and bolts securing the axel bearing to the axel. i have given the shaft a good tug and it will not budge. :hmm: has anyone removed the shafts and whats the easiest way of doing it?? all help will good cheers scotty

cheers 4 that info guys, i have bought a new panhard rod to find that the body mount is also bent, any ideas on how gto fix?

.

yeah ok how hard is it to put on another panhard rod? and would a wheel alignment fix the noise? also should i be driving it when this has happened? cheers

cheers for all that info guys here is a pic of my diff, is that rod supposed to be bent? and how do i fix this? all help will be good :)

heyy everyone i have a problem with the ke70 diff i went up a gutter and now the diff makes a noise everytime i drive that starts to get noisy at a bout 40kmph is it my diff or brakes or suspension? what do i do? cheers any help would be really good scotty

heyy guys, i tried to adjust the points on my ke70 the engine is stock, and now when i accelerate i get a sparking noise coming from the dizzy? do i need a new distributer? seccond question: i was trying to adjust the mixture and idle speed on the ke70 and i couldnt go under 1000rpm so i found the problem, it was the idle compensator wasnt sucking back in and there was no vacuum on the lead so i traced the vacuum leads back, and it turned out to be a jet, i put in a straight line conector so that jet is bypassed, and it worked. is this going to affect anything else? cheers scott

ive got 1 gquestion guys, if i drop a 5k in a ke70 do i need a roadworthy for the car so it can be driven? i live in sa. cheers

Hey As far as i know all the engine parts fit eg. carb, zorst manufold etc, gearboxes fit but may not line up as in the lever. good luck mate! Scott

also check the alternator, may not be charging the system

the coil has a negetive trigger that the tacho uses, this may be used to fire the injectors at a speed, according to the voltage from the coil, good luck
