Ok guys I have two KE70 K50 5speeds here... Both have front oil seal leaks and they both have oil covering the inner bellhousing... One is not as bad as the other. Now the KE70 manual states that to replace the oil seal you need to dismantle the transmission... Thats all it says... It tells you how to replace the rear oil seal but not the front. So Whats involved with changing the front oil seal.. is there a way around dismatling the gearbox? Is it ok to drive with it like this? Also as I have two I would like to keep the best out of the two... When I twisted the input shaft on both, one was harder to twist while the other was easy to twist. This also happened for the output shaft to the tailshaft... Anyone have ways to determin condition? Both were fairly greasy but I have degreased them and they have came up shmick. So I now will be able to identify any oil leaks. anyone have any help on this subject? Cheers Tally

yo Ryan, cars looking good When you wanna pick up that 5speed? gimmie a buzz some time eh, I'm holding it for you right?

Id be keen for sure on that wagon... would be a killer daily!!!

Cheers guys you guys are legends!!! Really really helpful!!!!!!!!!! Every time I have a question it always gets answered on here!!!! Not like other forums!!! Thanks again guys appreciate it!!! Cheers Tally

You and I are having the same problem man, just save up and replace everything you can. I'm doing my timing chain this week, ignition timing and valve clearances... My engine has been sounding like a diesel tractor too lol

Just want to know what settings I should go by when adjusting things such as valve clearances and rest. My engine is a 4K with a 3K-H head so I don't know what to use... like do I adjust engine stuff in regards to a 4K engine or a 3K engine. or are all the settings the same between K engines? any help would be great I have a corolla 1200 workshop manual for the E20 series but it doesnt list the 3K-H and I havnt got a 1300 workshop manual for an E7 so I will get one if I have too...

Ok so... I'm having problems with the engine. 1. The timing is out 2. The valve clearances are out 3. Carbie needs a rebuild and yesterday it got worse as I was driving on the highway, the engine started stuttering, like it would cut out for a mili-second every second while building revs... I also found out that my 3K head is in fact a 3K-H head, so I guess I am running a bit more comp then a stock 3K head... So becasue I have this head I'm not sure what settings I have to go by.... 3K or 4K? eg like do I adjust engine stuff in regards to a 4K engine or a 3K engine. the car has: new oil new coolant new s/plugs new dizzy points/rotor old leads old coil So I'm gonna change my timing chain so that particular problem will be fixed hopefully. Then once I know what settings to adjust with ill do the rest. Also when I adjust my timing I'm thinking ill put it at 10 degrees, as the FAQ states if you run higher octane fuel (BP Ultimate) it will screw your timing if you havnt adjusted it for it.... Whats the deal? and one more thing whats valve timing, same thing as valve clearences? ignition timing is the timing of the dizzy so the correct spark is set at the right point?

Hey guys Well its time to change my timing chain and tentioner. My question is would my 1982 KE70 have a single or double row timing chain? The FAQ states some 4Ks had single, making me come to the conclusion that most are double... The FAQ also states that double is better. Makes sense... so whats the deal guys? Cheers Tally

do you mean fender mirrors? if so i run them they are good but not everyone likes them... personal preferance at the end of the day, + style your going for... also fender mirrors arnt exactly legal nowerdays... if your paint is good leave it...

spotted me wanting that wagon too lol! Also spotted me wanting another rolla cruise...

Cheers dude appreciate it heaps mate!!!

Got my AE86 strut convo nearing completion and installation and yea few other things... So guys I have a few questions that I havnt had any luck getting answers to on AE86DC... 1. Machining brake rotors? How much and whos good to get em done in Adelaide? 2. Good brake pads for ADM AE86 Calipers? 3. Any idea if I can get like some sort of rebuild kit for a K50? or replacement rubbers or a shift rebuild kit... 4. lightening my flywheel? How much and whos good to get it done in Adelaide? 5. My KE70 5spds would be 19 spline? 6. Where to get spigot bearing? Cheers Tally

Hey man, looking sweet as, gonna be one tough street machine!!! who'd you get to lighten your fly wheel? and how much did you get taken off?

I have a hard top 1900 grill that would look intense on this thingo man...

thats pretty insane brother!!!

better be chicks lol

good on ya mate! if you have any KE25 specific questions I can help!

Hey guys looking for a carbie hat off a 5K lite ace van. Anyone know a wrecker who would have one?

My Ke70 gets up and boogies when it feels like it lol... some days yes, some days no, one day it will skid next day it wont lol clockwise ringys are the best lol, gets the inside wheel up and just starts smokin in the car park lol

Hey Guys I was thinking of using sumtin like a Ramflo or K&N filter that just bolts to the carby, then running a pipe from a hole in the radiator support panel to direct air to the filter like that?

Haha I saw ya, thought you were gonna follow us back to Adelaide..

I like the idea of a bbq some where at the end of a cruise similar to the one (insert business name here lol) did earlier this year. Personally I feel night cruises through the hills are dangerous and alot of hoons come out... Like the commodore driver that came on a rotary cruise few years back, 10pm at night, bang right into the side of a cliff... my 2cnts... edit: once I get my Nikon camera, we could do like a proper photoshoot... would be good...

The thing is I was like 2 mins behind you guys lol... Was going flat out all the way, I still got quarter of a tank left and only filled up 20 bucks... But yea spewin hard but hey, you live and you learn... I should have my car set up properly for the next one as I just bought a minta KE70 full of suspension/drivetrain goodies in it to swap over to mine. So I think then ill be able to keep up...

Yea havnt been there for a while, they made the best ones few years back... should pop in one day soon... also spotted like every rollaclub SA member today lol, and lots of random corollas, anyone see that red KE25 at the good guys in nourlanga? Sweet cruise man well done!!!!!!!!!1
