Bike engines vs Idiots

and dad calls me crazy for revving to 5000rpm....

Heh, I hit 8000RPM in the white car sometimes...

K engines were designed to be valve bounced :P

if i had valve bounce at 8 grand i'd be pissed off :P we've done this to paddock basher corollas before, even with no water and oil, the pistons just expand until they sieze in the bores. leave it overnight and it will start up again perfectly

lol sweeet !!!

ok perfectly might not be the world, partially lawnmower-like because the bore clearance has widened might be a bit more accurate, but no worse than a worn street motor. the point is, the thing still starts idles and drives :fuzz: well that is until you jump it and fold the roof in half (ke35) or do some custom body mods with a sigma and a corona (ke36) :P

lol

 

:P

 

hehehehehehehe

 

 

:fuzz: :) :)

Well said Teddy, I'd love to see the pictures Rob always talks about of the killing of a 4K..

jamie thats true. i had a ke30 paddock basher with a 3k in it. i cooked it 14 times and everytime it went harder! they seem to love it

definately. you can't kill a k!

I'm taking this as a challenge....let you guys know when my 3K throws a rod :P

best i've ever done is have a welsch plug blow out of the back of a big port head 3k. happened a week after getting my first car (ke30) on the road. :sad:

 

being young and not really knowing any better at the time i kept going, until it siezed. it started a few minutes later and i kept going, just trying to get home. after 4 seizures (and cooloff periods) i finally made it. the engine wasn't really healthy, but still went. pulling the head revealed badly scored bores. lesson learnt. motor change time.

my mum once "topped up" the engine oil in her v6 pajero with some 90W gearbox oil i had laying around. voila, two cracked heads :P
