doesnt the fuel pump stop when its filled?

ok guys i need some advice for what work should be done to my head, i have the 5k with 4age pistons, stage 5 cam, that was used in ke25racers car, i am going to use a 4k head off my old motor, but thats stock atm, i have a downdraught holley and extractors and was wondering how far to go with head work? would it be most reliable if i leave it stock?

why do you need brakes that big?

we never got them here

could someone move this to technical builds? and maybe change the title to 5k build?

ok well i worked out that the play is normal, i went and bought a new o ring, points and rotor button etc, and was wondering what to set the gap in the points too?

hm not really

i found a ke55 cable works well

what colour you gonna paint it?

if i grab the gear at the bottom it moves about 1mm up and down

hey guys i am using a mechanical dizzy and there isnt supposed to be play in the shaft is there?

yea ill just make one up, i got excited and went and bought a new water pump for 72 bucks that came with a gasket so I'm all sweet on that, thanks guys

awsome thanks for the help, ill probably leave the stock bosch one atm, also is there supposed to be a gasket between the part that holds on the oil filter and the block?

what are the benefits of running an 80A alternator instead of the stock one? does it charge faster? also what does underdriving it do?

interesting! well i picked up my new late model ke70 water pump, is it necessary to unscrew the backing plate on the pump and use gasket glue on that inner gasket? or should i just leave it and worry about the gasket that connects to the block itself?

so the electrical load is less than the mechanical load of the clutch fan?

awsome, is there anyway to open up the clutch to re-oil it? i heard something about impact screws? any ideas on how to get it open?

bump?

ok so next problem to over come is what water pump to use the water pump on the left is the one i was using on the 4k, the plate that the fan attaches to has a larger stud pattern than the one that was on the 5k, so that way i can use the larger 4ac clutch fan and also has the outlet that goes to the thermostat, however the 5k pump seems to have a larger turbine inside? If i was to buy a new one should i tell them its for a 5k? will it have the correct outlets or doesnt it matter for the coolant to go back to the thermostat? also does the turbine size make a difference? Also is a 4ac clutch fan better than a solid fan?

ok so i went to shim the oil pump today, found that it was already shimmed with a couple washers, so i chucked another in there so theres about 3mm worth, should keep things nice, then sealed up the sump with a new gasket and gasket goo, also had a double row timing chain, now what i was worried about was what to do with the head gasket seeing as it has 4age pistons that must have a larger diameter? do i use the standard head gasket?

might as well give it a cam too

um the 4ac was carby

ok i think you got confused, i am putting in a worked 5k instead of the 4k that has rod knock, i found that piece in the 5k sump, and i was thinking to shim the oil pump of the 5k as it has 4age pistons and stage 5 cam and I'm going to use 4k head with holley downdraught and extractors

does anybody know how to shim the oil pump, i might as well do it as i have the sump off and engine out of the car, i couldnt understand the faq properly

hm it does look like it! thats strange though as this engine was running an external fuel pump lol, well thanks for the help i will check it out tomorrow
