altezzaclub Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 i gave crow cams a call today and all they said about a cam for " the old 4k " is that they havent had anything to do with the k mortors for about 3-5 years and wanted nothing to do with me Odd!! I sent mine off in January and got it back OK. Part number 600606 You must have ot the office dummy! Go back to them and ask for the organ-grinder.... The valve spring replacements are from the Holden 202 motor, but stock springs should take 0.4" cam lift OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainWarriorDregs Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 i'm getting 0.423" lift and staying with stock springs. is it a massive job changing springs? i'd really like something that just fits, without requiring more machining.

jason12 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hey mate as far as a carb goes look into putting a gemini nikki carb on. Its not the best option as far as power but theyre cheap (got mine for $23) and with a change of jets etc they go pretty well for what they are. Pretty much a straight bolt on too.

altezzaclub Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) Crow have just told me- We still do regrinds, (your own cam) but can't do new cams as they no longer make the blanks He said to email him directly- Just take the spaces out that I put in to prevent the bots recognising an email addy. martin@ crowcams .com .au You must have got the office cleaner with a sense of humour! :happy: Edited May 27, 2010 by altezzaclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezzaclub Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Fair enough- get a cheap 4K off someone on here and rebuild it slowly then drop it in. Buy these right now and save them until you need them! They are a bargain! http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=36821 Mine cost just under $2000 for the whole mod. Buying carbs/ extractors $600, cam $185, gasket kit/bearings/choke cables/fittings/stuff from spares shop $500, airbox made and fitted $115, exhaust fitment $130, head engineering and crank clean $165, other bits made it $1873. I did bearings at the same time as the car had been run with the wrong oil filter and the lack of a non-return valve meant it started up every day with no oil pressure for 30seconds. The bearings were marked so I replaced them with standard size again, and it is better now. I had an airbox made so it takes a new Corolla paper filter and it is inside a cold air box. Somewhere in there is $60 for exhaust manifold wrap to also keep the engine bay cool. I better do a write-up on it now I suppose. All the usual stuff people do to work over a 4K as a daily.
