April 1, 201115 yr comment_514124 Its probably because its an old crap 3K. Do a full service and tune, if it doesnt help put a 4 or a 5K in it. Report
April 1, 201115 yr comment_514134 NOS I'd pay to see that on a stock 30 that struggles to 100. :lolcry: Report
April 1, 201115 yr comment_514165 +1 to NOS And a VTec sticker, that will add +5hp. I would also consider adding some neons. (If you are being serious though and this isn't an april fools joke, then my comments would be the same as blzbub, the 3k is a 30 year old engine that isn't really built for performance) Report
April 1, 201115 yr comment_514180 ke30 has hard time getting from 90-100km, any thoughts? terrorists. Report
April 1, 201115 yr comment_514225 My 3k 3spd didn't have trouble doing that sort of thing, like blzbub666 said do a service and tune then go from there. Report
April 1, 201115 yr comment_514231 G`day mate, you`re a hard one to convince aren`t you. The 3k needs at least rings. The same as you were told when I advertised it and the same as when you bought it from my son. The engine will never run correctly until the rings are replaced. It burns oil like there is no tomorrow. Get it,,,,got it,,,,good. Report
April 2, 201115 yr Author comment_514341 I fixed the oil burning issue and changed the head gasket and valve seals. she works fine now, didnt have to do the rings. just a case of a weak engine needing the cob webs knocked out. just about done rebuilding the 4k which i will drop in next month. It only burned oil first day or so of running it but stopped after running it a while and changing gaskets. There was nothing about convincing! Just a simple question.

April 3, 201115 yr comment_514608 Agree Tune up !!!! Do all the stuff, Oil, All filters (Air, Fuel oil), plugs, points, cap, rotor, if the leads look old change them too. Inspect the the plugs this should tell you how the carby is running . Check compression about 125 psi is the lowest you should see and all cylinders should be about the same. Be sure you check the timing, Id set to 10 and back off the 8 if it pings, you need to disconnect vac line to dissy when setting timing. Have a good look at the carby make sure the flapper vavle is working. Check the exhaust and make sure its not been flattend. Is it burning oil ? Is it losing water ? Cheers Andy Report
April 8, 201115 yr comment_515803 I'm pretty sure it's the nature of a 3k? I don't go over 80km/h with my 4.3 ratio diff. At least you can get 90! Report
