irokin Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 and dad calls me crazy for revving to 5000rpm.... Quote
demuire Posted May 24, 2004 Author Report Posted May 24, 2004 Heh, I hit 8000RPM in the white car sometimes... Quote
Medicine_Man Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 K engines were designed to be valve bounced :P Quote
Super Jamie Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 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 Quote
Super Jamie Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 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 Quote
Medicine_Man Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Well said Teddy, I'd love to see the pictures Rob always talks about of the killing of a 4K.. Quote
andrew Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 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 Quote
irokin Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 I'm taking this as a challenge....let you guys know when my 3K throws a rod :P Quote
ke1x Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 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.

Super Jamie Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 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 Quote
