Did you align the markings (the two dots) opposite of each other..... the red dots indicate where the marks are on the crank and camshaft

Next time send a private message instead of cluttering up someone elses thread.... http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/45319-4k-egr-vac-lines/page__p__471899__hl__vacuum__fromsearch__1#entry471899 about half way down is a picture.........

Yeah I drove mine for ages, it can wear things out though so I think a month sounds about right.....You can get that part brand new I'm pretty sure.

Yeah it's your steering arm man, same problem with my 35 and after replacing it all fixed......I did do all the bushes at the same time but the mechanic said the arm was the problem.

He's done the timing mate, thus the further questioning of what's happening. When it comes to how you've hooked up the carby, use the search function as it's come up atleast 1 million times in the past.

Have another update (not for the dash conversion), got a wheel alignment done about 3 months after I put new springs in. Was still getting like a burring sound from the front right wheel, took the bearing cover off and the grease was dark grey with metal flakes (which I think isn't a good thing :hmm: :hmm: ). New bearings and grease and it drives awesome now, finally happy with my front end after about 10 months. Will hopefully have a full time job by next week so should have some actual good updates for the beast.

I was thinking about this last night and didn't know how to answer, if you were able to do the timing it means you have spark. You say it's getting fuel to the carby so there are only a a few solutions and they are that the cam is out, the valves could be cracked open a bit and a few other things that i can't really think of.

Yes. Oh wait...I read it wrong....You installed the cable, plugged it all in and the speedo is out by 5-10km/h? The cable is the same, just a bit of flexible stuff that connects the sender gear to the speedo, what it sounds like you need to do is find a different toothed gear to put into your gearbox. I have the same problem so I can't tell you which is the correct gear (amount of teeth on the gear I mean).

Nice Rolla man :y: :y: :y:

Depends on the age of the car, on mine I ran a new cable from the battery to setup a constant and ignition "busbar". So when ever I have to add to it in the future I just branch off that, when I get some more cash flow I'll be installing something like this... Oh by the way, those fuse adaptors are a good idea on newer cars where the wiring is a little stronger, but not for old cars. Imagine having an original 10amp fuse then adapting another 10amp onto that.....20amps on 3mm or less wire, not such a good idea.

Me? Ok...so I got my head down at Adelaide Cylinder Head, they did a full rebuild and also welded it up and made it "like new" again (cause the heads corrode a fair bit in the water jackets). I installed it on the car and every start up I get a puff of smoke, it's even worse now as it does it as it idles at traffic lights. I was happy with the price that I paid for it, just not that happy that I have to pull the head off again to the the valve stem seals. The original question was about head porting but every little bit of advice helps, everyone that I spoke to said to got to API in Lonsdale and I wish I did now. Is that clearer?

What do you think looks better? Go with that.

Not to give Adelaide cylinder heads any bad rep, but I got my head 'rebuilt' there and I the valve guides and the other little thingo's need to be redone, or more probable is that they have to be done for the first time.

Someone's been watching south park......little bit of rust at 48k miles :blinks:

You can get semi-sealed replacements lights from sprints for about 15 bucks each (well that's what they were when i got them for mine) then put in what ever globes you want like white/blue and so on. Unless you want the HiD conversion, which are illegal for older type cars......and cops can easily tell the difference between originals and HID replacements. Nice lights but not worth the time, money and trouble.

Now that you mention it..........

No

Well I was going to say cause most k engines are pushrod there's less stuffing around, I think sometime soon me and a couple of mates are driving to melbourne to get a subaru that needs and new cylinder head put on it. So we're going to drive over and do that, but Sydney is heaps further away. You could see if a couple of mates want to fly over with you and help you out, although i don't know about registering it over there. So actually no help from me, just an extre 2 cents......

Is it a corolla? Is it the head gasket that is blown? if it is just fly over there, pull the head off and replace the gasket and do the tapets, hour later your on your way. Oh and a water/oil change aswell.

This isn't a thread about personal opinion otherwise it will turn into a shit throwing competition, go out side and look at your ke70. Does it look like it should be defected? Then if it's a target vehicle EXPECT it to get it defected, Do you drive like a knob, you'll get defected.

Just remember not to post things about yourself and what you do in your car. The new hoon laws are great I live on a corner where it's part of a short cut around some lights, used to get hoons every night, but not so much no more. Has already been discussed in the past about if you'll be targeted if your part of a club/forum, if your car isn't held together by cable ties and your don't drive like a knob then don't expect to be crushed. ESPECIALLY you coupe drivers out there, gotta keep em going....

Man those wheels make it look so tuff.....nice work man...

Dude, if it came across that i was having a go at you PM me OK, nearly every EFI topic has someone saying that it's hard to do. I wasn't having a go at you and I didn't say you were stupid, just calm down.
