anastasios

ok guys i have a new dilemma, i took off the sump of the engine i want to put in, and i cleaned up the sump a bit and found this piece of metal in the bottom of the sump, I'm not too sure where it comes from, any ideas?

hmm it did look a bit corroded in places, i think I'm going to accept it and finally chuck in ke20 racers old 5k, ive been heaps curious about that engine anyway, 4age pistons, stage 5 cam n stuff,

hm I'm going to go with a spun bearing, my car sounds alot like this . i have a 5k thats been worked that i am going to prep to put in

wouldnt the coolant be empty if it was the head gasket?

dude my car was always full of oil, i was driving it hard and something started rattling, atm ive pulled the head off and am thinking of taking the engine out

Hey guys I was driving home from uni last night in my ke70 with 4k and I noticed my oil light was on and my oil pressure was at zero, as my revs rose I could hear a loud tapping/rattling noise from my engine, and a strong smell, I went to the servo and bought some oil, when I opened my bonnet i could see white smoke puffing out of the breather, and also when i opened the cap there was white smoke coming out, i filled it with oil although it was dripping out from somewhere on the inlet side, ive taken a look and think it might be the head gasket, what else could it be? the coolant looks darkish like a black colour, if it was a head gasket would it be making that loud tapping noise? any help appreciated

ahhh k i get it now, so the alloy one u have atm is not cooling enough? hm maybe make up like an aluminium intake to direct air right into the radiator?

dude just use the original ones, if u want new ones look on ebay and stuff or even japan for the different styled ones

atm i use a 4ac clutch fan with a 55 radiator and the ke70 comes standard with an overflow bottle with a cap that has a pipe that leads into the engine bay, the cap ontop of the bottle is brittle and leaks though, do u lose coolant during the race?

would using a regular fixed fan or clutch fan with a shroud run better? maybe getting it recored? do you use an overflow bottle?

leave it white man

yea i was so happy that i was able to repair my cracked 55 radiator with some solder

take a look on 86driving club, there is good topics on it already

what water temps do you guys get usually? i have a ke70 and my water rarely goes above the first lil line, usually lower, atm I'm using a ke55 radiator although i would like to get another 70 one

i think white is one of the most "jap" colours you could get

from a 3k? i don't think so, it would be pushing it

na don't do maroon, if i was you id repaint it in the standard colour

why not upgrade your engine to a 4 or 5k

yes i do realise that....the actual material that the holleys are made out of wear a heap faster than the weber and therefore need to be repaired more often....its nothing really like that analogy you said

so is this thing actually happening? what will happen?

ive got a holley 180 on my 4k atm, goes heaps well, although if i was going to do anything it would be to upgrade to a weber, better quality

if your going to buy a 4k you might as well get a 5k, and yes learn how to spell

black with no tint

omg please don't, imo i don't think those mirrors suit the 70 shape, you need the square ones, they are too old

ask ######, I'm pretty sure he has some cusco ones
