whoa, doug....my 4ke has flat tops, so did the 4kc

now the 3tc are domed :D

really?

 

i have had a few dished piston 4ks. going off the factory cast numbers on the insides of the skirts of the pistons, two identified as 4k-e and one a 4k-u, this from japanese piston manufacturer catalogs.

i was under the impression that only some 4k-e and 4k-u engines have had dished pistons. probably something based on year of production? i know i've heard of people getting non-heron heads off 4k-u motors

hey just thought i'd let you know the 4k-c DOES have dished pistons, (or at least mine does) its from an automatic 1984 starlet incase that makes a difference. i bought it from the wreckers for $400 and i took the head off today only to find alot of rust and about 4 too many pistons that were dished. grr.

oh well, 5k time.
