4K Help/advice - Brisbane Area

[wooshka]

Hi, i'm just after some general advice on a 4k engine and where to go for some mechanical work to be done on the motor - the reason i'm asking is;

 

The engine blows quite abit of blue smoke which indicates to my novice mind that the rings are possibly gone/going/cracked, also there is quite a substantial amount of blowby in the carby. The motor has done 300000 odd k's and I am quite suprised it's still running. So what I am after is the best place to either get these checked, and depending on the outcome, fixed. At the same time Id like to obtain a weber3236, a 25/65 cam, heavy duty springs and to also run 0.400" valve lift. I would like this to be all in the brisbane area or australia if I have to any of the items needed.

 

Thank you so much if you can help me out, in advance!

I have a 32/36 with redline adapter plate and chrome air filter thing, will need to be re jetted to suit. PM me if interested (I'm on the Sunny Coast)

K POWAH!

 

but seriously,

 

Cam:

• http://www.tighecams...u/COROLLA3K.htm (These guys are in Brisbane so that's always a plus!)
  
• http://www.camtechca..._4cyl_3k4k.html
  
• http://www.wadecams.com/
  

Valve Springs:

• http://www.performancesprings.com.au (The catalogue is a bit vague, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that they do heavy duty 4K singles)
  
• http://www.crowcams....ent Springs.pdf (4220 is the part number for heavy duty 4K doubles, not sure if they make them anymore though)
  

Hopefully another member can fill in the gaps :)

Got extractors on there already?? ..or are they later in the list?

 

Aim to lighten the flywheel and see if you can get it all balanced while its apart. A new oil pump and you have a bottom end that will take 7000rpm and last for years. If you're keen you could have the block walls sonic tested & fit 5K pistons, so you have a 1500cc 4K. The carb and exhaust can be done later when the budget allows.
