  1. Yeah I might just have to port the 4K head out. I'm running a brand new 45 DCOE, so I'm guessing the runners on the manifold will be bigger. Thanks
  2. Thanks very much guys, that's a relief! I will get a recon 4K head and see what happens. Cheers
  3. Hi everyone, Recently rebuilt a 5K bottom end with the flat top (O dish) pistons, but don't have the right head to suit. I tried scooping out the shallow chambered 5K head for the D dish pistons, but keep blowing head gaskets as the comp ratio is 13:1. I need to get hold of the O dish 5K head, or put a 4K or 3K head on. Does anyone know if a 4K head is the same height as the O dish 5K head, in other words so the pushrods will be the right length (I have the O dish pushrods). If so, what will the compression ratio be? I'm using hydraulic rocker gear. Needless to say, if anyone is selling one... Thanks
  4. Yeah I fitted some from a Sigma to my KE-30 2 door. It has a ridiculous amount of camber! It looks fairly extreme, but it actually drives far better like that. Even feels more planted in a straight line too. If you go that way, you will need the Sigma ball joints too. I also had to grind the bushings on the LCA a little bit, but nothing drastic. Unfortunately this has left me with a fair bit of toe. Does anyone know the name of the part you screw out to adjust the toe angle? I need longer one's if that's possible. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks
  5. Ahh it should be fine. Oddly enough I got a 3K and 4K dipstick today and they are both exactly the same. I'm guessing they all share the same oil capacity and sump. Cheers
  6. This might be a dumb question to many, but is there a difference between a dipstick for a 4K and a 5K? I just had my 5K rebuilt and lost the dipstick in the process, so I went to the wrecking yard and got one from a 4K. It currently indicates my oil level is over full. I put about 3.5 litres in it? This is a pretty serious little motor, so I want to make sure it has the right amount. Thanks
  7. Hmmm, Redline does the manifold for it, so would need to get hold of the manifold first and have a look at the runners. I reckon it should all work pretty well. Still deciding whether I should do it or not, but at this stage it seems like it will work better than the down draught Weber that's on there. Cheers
  8. Hi everyone, I'm looking at fitting a single Dellorto 40 side draught to my 5K, and the mounting is the same as the 40DCOE Weber I've been told. The issue is the only manifold I can find for a single side draught is for a 45DCOE. Question is, do the 40 and 45 DCOE Webers have different mountings? Thanks
  9. Yeah, sounds like a head gasket problem to me. However it can be several other things, but usually the head gasket is the problem. Like 'altezzaclub' said, have the head faced and make sure all contacting surfaces are spotless. I had a head bolt snap on my 5K whilst installing a copper head gasket, warped the gasket removing it from the block, put it all back together and oil turned to MILK!!! Had to rip it all apart again, put a standard ACL Monotorque gasket in and she came up fine. Easier said then done unfortunately, lots of time to do it right! Just incase you're new to this, make sure you torque the head bolts in the right sequence, then check them again after driving it for a while. It pays to clean out the thread on the block too, something I learnt the hard way (cause of my head bolt snapping!). Cheers
  10. You need the 80's model Sigma LCA's. But I think I got the wrong one's, as my camber is now pretty severe! I did this to my KE-30 Corolla a few months back, and it's not as straight forward as I thought. You need to swap a few bits, for example the Sigma ball joints must be used, the steering arms need to be wound out, the bushes need to be ground down a fair bit (have a grinder handy). Presuming your Rolla has similar dimensions to mine, you will need to do all these things. Oh yes, some bolts need to be changed too. There was something else that had to be done too, but can't remember right now... All up the control arms and ball joints cost me $50, labour was free as I did this with a mate in the drive way. Well worth it though, as the positive camber on my car was useless! Hope this helps.
  11. Thanks mate! I spent alot of time building up this motor, so I did not want to blow it up by not having enough oil etc. I'll put exactly the 3.5 L and fire her up. Thanks again.
  12. Hi all, Does anyone know the EXACT amount of oil a 5K is meant to have (inc oil filter)? Mine is missing the dipstick and is the bent type, can't find one anywhere! If I put the right amount in, then I have a full mark for whatever dipstick I make up for it. Thanks
  13. Okay, that should make a massive difference! Guess now I need to track one of these down and take the centres out. Thanks
  14. Hi everyone, My KE-30 2 door is currently running a 5K and 5 speed, and a 4.1 diff (according to the book). I was wondering if there's another diff or complete setup with disc brakes that will easily fit and preferably have the same stud pattern? I'd like a higher ratio diff than what's in there, so it revs less. Thanks :)
