May 13, 201115 yr Author comment_523753 I keep seeing threads started asking how much is it going to build XXXX engine. I've just finished my 4k, so I've done something I rarely do. Work out the exact price. I had some tools already, so I've only calculated the tools I had to buy. I also chose to build a second engine with a damaged sump, so that was also an extra expense. I could have built my own engine, but I chose to drive around with the old one while I was working. I utilised e-gay a bit, waiting for the right priced stuff to come up. Build time was around three months, but then it took me three months to extract a digit and fit it. Oh and as always, thanks for your help Dave. Engine $ 50 Sump $20 Sump gasket $20 Vrs $30 Pistons $70 Head machine $60 Valve lapping tool $12 Valve spring compressor $35 Welch plugs $12 Sealants $15 Paint $15 Total = $339 minus tools and engine block/sump = $222 Motor is now super quiet and smooth and has quite a good amount of puff. After run in, I'm going to give it some stick and see how it really goes. I've ordered a carby rebuild kit, so that's the next job. Bamboo Report
January 27, 201313 yr Author comment_645232 Speaking to a bloke recently who said he needed a new clutch. Said he had a 94 corolla. Seen enough of them so I thought I knew 'em. When I first saw it I thought it was a south african import. It isn't. It was imported by Toyota Australia. So it is very much like the KE50. Brought in alongside the aussie built stuff. It isn't at all bad to drive now I've fixed the clutch. Report
