Sounds good man. Just wanted to say you have a nice 26 wags man. They look so cool!!!

Hey guys I have taken the head off my 3K in my KE25 and have been told that I should clean the top of the pistons while the head is off.... My question is how and what do I use? Cheers Tally

lol... interesting none the less...

lets play spot the toyota... These are kinda easy if your familier with the jap-spec cars. Thats all for now till I find the other sites in my favourites

search on toyota3tc.com They make over in the states. But they are big bucks.

I would but I don't have the moolah :P

Want to sell the bolt on guards?

Coming along quite nicely man...

Yea I think it would be more easy and cost effective if I just found a one in good condition. to anyone that may be able to help the pics are in the last post on pg 5. Just a few questions: The block shouldnt have anything wrong with it would it? The heads are alloy and thats why they wear out? Can I use different heads on it? eg 3K-H? And how do I clean the top of the block and the pistons? How do I wipe them? Do I just use a cloth and some cleaning agent or just scrape everything? yea thats about it. EDIT: Here are some pics of my new polished hubbies and my new rims!!! Cheers Tally

well went and got a new headgasket and manifold gasket during the week. more problems.... Just going to cut a long story short and let the pics do some of the talking. Undid rocker Undid rocker arms and shaft. Took out pushrods. Undid manifold: Took off head: The gasket was rooted but the head was also. In the cylinder closest to the front, the water way had corrded right next to the cylinder. I think that was the casue. Ill let you guys decide as I have no idea if its ok or not. Look bad to me but. Took the head off the old engine but taht one was so far goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 17 years of sitting sure does a lot of damage.. sorri don't have a pic but it was all rusted and corroded. and the top of the pistons were covered in ash. So looks like I'm up for a new head. Will put a ad up in the parts trader. Cheers guys :P Tally Looks like I'm up for a new head.

I had one, just sold it... would of been happy to help out :P

and another thing. Your steering wheel is in prestine condition!!! Mine has two big gaps in the wood... dunno why... and has a sort of pale blue colour.... what type of armour all did you use. and the front on those early KE25s are so ugly LOL. Looks like a bug! lol just noticed the blue interior lol. Thats different! Cheers Tally

Yes the original mirror that was on your car belongs to it. Early and late have different styles like you have noticed Cheers Tally p.s did u grab that front trim?

:D :hmm: :P Mazdas are excused :hmm: YOU SHOULD GRAB IT!!!!!! Fix it up or sell it!!! I would if it was in Adelaide!!! 808 Wagon's are becoming pretty rare thesedays. A few on Ausrotary are going for around 4K in overrated condition. Any one else got some Mazda rusty relic photos? I have 100MB of Mazda rusty relics and always looking for more!!! Cheers Tally edit: Iits got Hurricanes!!! I want the rims!!!

looks very similar to a KE20. Even the interior!!! Looks Wicked!!! I want one bad!!!

better put some tough rollas and rotaz to kick the shits outta all that american and european crap. Show em how its done :D

Yea man great car, seen it on Ausrotary. Getting to work already!!! Great stuff!!! Ill be watching this one carefully if I decide to put a rota in my 25 later on. Cheers and nice car Tally

lol thats funni az... the corolla has been beneficial for everyone lol

yours is an early model so they would have come out with the KE10 style hubbies. The later models came with the sunflower style. I have a full set of 4 with 2 trim rings if youd like. Cheers Tally

My KE25 Should of done this a while ago... Name: Tally Car Name: Shitbox Model: KE25 Deluxe Build Date: 1974 VIN: 385 450

seen this one on hindley st

Saw a white KE20 drive past the roundabout near fusions house on Galway Avenue today at about 5:30pm. I was going to my uncle’s place to see my KE25. What a coincidence. Cheers Tally

Just a quick question. About adjusting the valve clearance. What tools will I need? Will I need feeler gauges? And also what is TDC? Cheers Tally

agreed :hmm:
