I'm gonna miss my 4K motor but what to do, life goes on

I think you will miss your 4K for about 18 seconds once the CA roars to life in that amazing KE70 body :thumbsup:

Prediction : You will miss the 4K-C the second time you replace the spun bottom end bearings :thumbsup:

 

Bottom end bearing. which one be more specific nick. I heard that CA18 got really good engine but the internal bearing not last long, how come?

Good oil and good filter check the oil weekly like you should with any car and don't rev the tits of it and it should be sweet. Most of these motors are ten years old+ so thats why they normally spin bearings or are reved too hard.

 

it go in the ke70 no worries just modify engine cross member brackets and make custom gearbox x/member.

 

As for the shaft you talk about. I think you mean the tailshaft take the front yoke from the back of the gearbox and your old tailshaft and go to a drive shaft shop and they ll use them to make a new one piece number. they ll tell you where to measure from so they can make it the right lenght (normally diff flange to seal face on the g/box and and diff flange to end of the spline on g/box)

 

Goodluck keep us posted!!

Nick just hates all engines

unless it's a 4age. baaa!

Thanks guys for the advises. apreciate that. Today the motor has been lower down into the new body, will post the picture later.

BRO THATS HOT I'm BUILDING A DRIFT ROLLA TOO WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED

Got updates mate?

 

this is on conversions I'm actaully hanging to see even if its using left over scrap metal from taiwan :jealous:

1, that car is hot, and the CA should go heaps good in it, good luck.

2, WHY IS TYPING IN CAPS SO WRONG??

 

seriously, atleast his post was easy to read, unlike all that short crap that you have to read 10 times just to make sence..!

Up-date now the engine has been taked out for rebuild :lolcry: . The GB is now waiting for the new clutch set. Damn quite hard to find the clutch set for CA :) . Do u guys know what the part no. or any compatible marque can be used?

 

The engine now is ready for rebuild and check, parts that still can be used will be use due to budget constraint. Onli the leaking seals will be replace :lolcry: .

 

The picture will be available tomorrow, promise.

Over hear in australia, exedy/daikin are a common clutch brand. Or if you got the $$ OS Geikin are the bomb. Other than that you can go custom or even reface the original.

 

I recommend replacing the bottom end bearings :) and new rings/gaskets/seal etc. Just to be safe, besides its cheap insureance.

Below are the pictures:

 

GB, dismantle and waiting for the clutch kit :)

Previous leaking water pump, look the rust :lolcry:
