Banjo Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Just checked the free length of all my valve springs on my 4KC before I do a head recon this week. The good book says they should be 46.5mm free length. Mine are all over the place, between 44.8 & 45.9mm Me thinks I should fit a new set. Where's a good place in Brisbane to pick up a new set of std 4KC valve springs, without making my local Toyota guy richer. Maybe someones got a new standard set in a box lying around that they have never used, who would like to part with them for some green stuff. PM me & I will arrange the transaction. Other thing I'm after, but can't locate, is the rear leaf spring separator or isolator/insulation. It's the thin nylon spacer that fits in between each spring leaf to stop them rubbing together as springs slide on each other. There's 6-8 required for each spring. I checked Toyota & they only had 20 left in Australia in Sydney. Asked how much. $ 19.00. I thought, "that's OK for set of 8" Oh no. That was each. Ouch ! Anyone know where you can get these ? Have checked all the Super Auto Cheap, Repco, AutoPro etc. but no joy. Maybe one of the spring recondition mobs ? ? ? Thanks Heaps.

demuire Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I would assume that a place like Pedders would have those separator things. I know I got a new set when I got my leaves redone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
