it says 2.9

:) thanks man be back in a minute

ok i have no idea please help which one do i put it on?

doin that now. be right back thanks :)

hey man, i mustn't have been using the correct setting on the multi meter. I read no amps :) however, when i have the terminals connected up and the multimeter on the negative and positive terminals its losing about 0.01 every 2 seconds ! so it must be a drain somewhere. one of my mates said the alternator regulator or somthing? anyone have any idea how to test this?

cheers bro, i'll have a look at how bad the gasket is, might top her up for the time being. time to find a 28mm spanner. yeah i got a Haynes, its shit. gotta pick up a gregories one of these days. thanks man

Alec here again with the Ke70 (4k) with a stock diff. I've got some gearbox oil here that says i can put it in my diff? might be a silly question but can i do that? also do i have to take the back plate off the diff to drain the oil? and if so do i need another gasket or something to replace it with? cheers guys Alec

come on fellas, no one can help me with my power problem?

what was the defect for?

hey ALEC heheheheheh i was thinking about THIS THREAD http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=38254 which links you here http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/blog/2009/...-l-series-head/ i dunno if that helps but there ya go

you have the same name as me.... awesome name can't help you with the DOHC 4k (are you sure it wasn't the DOHC kit for the L series Datsun motor? ill have a look for you) awesome name but!

someone on here was selling bulk gilmour kits about a year ago i think. they were all the rage. i'm sure they'll find this thread good luck

Ok well while you guys are here thought i'd try to figure out another couple of queries about my car. 1) I need to put oil in the diff, but i want to dump the oil thats in there. I've looked over my spare diff and there seems to be no drainage hole on the bottom of the diff centre. Do i just open up the plate on the back and let it drain out that way? And if i do that do i need to put a new gasket or something onto the plate? Or gasket goo? 2) I have a problem with my battery going flat, if i let my car sit there for about 6-7 hours it will not start at all, no interior light, no dash lights no solenoid click for the starter nothing. Here are my assumptions and the theories i have used to come to them. Assumptions - The battery is ok. It's about 9 months old and was running in a TX5 Telstar Ghia from new. I thought the battery might be not holding its charge. However i charged the battery until it would start the car. Then i left if overnight (about the same time i left the car for when the battery went completely flat) and the battery started the car the next morning no problems. Therefore the battery is ok - Not caused from my big stereo. The problem started when me and my mate installed a new head deck and amp + sub (the speakers were from a previous stereo set up that was causing no problems, this could be a complete coincidence tho, i'm not sure. i disconnected the stereo, amp and sub and drove the car around like normal. Still the battery drained itself whilst sitting in the car for an extended period of time. Therefore it's not the stereo. - Something is draining the car while the battery is connected inside it. From the above assumptions, i reckon something must be draining the battery while its in the car. I have no idea what it is as the only thing that we've screwed with to make it do this is the stereo install, but its all now disconnected so i don't know. I fixed a few wires in the loom that connected to the battery but i thought that would solve the problem no cause one. Ideas - The alternator is rooted. The charge light isn't coming on in the instrument cluster at all. Should it be coming on when i switch to Accessory power? I have a multimeter so i am going to test the voltage between the positive and negative battery terminals with the car off and on idle (this is how i test it right? and it should be around 12V with car off and 14.5V with car on idle, according to google?). should i also test the charge voltage from the alternator itself? or will this give me the same number as testing the terminals? - Not enough earths. Not enough earths off the engine, someone mentioned this is a car sound thread on here. But this becomes irrelevant without the stereo being in right? Other than that i am completely stumped. It's becoming extremely irritating and inconvenient tho. I just figured out a problem with the fuel pump and i got her working and now the battery keeps draining itself. Dammit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks fellas *EDIT: I realise that the second part of this is an electrical problem, but i thought i'd keep it in the same thread for ease of reading. >| *EDIT 2: I checked the battery with a multimeter and i get 13.08V on idle and 12.50V when the cars off. But when the car was off i was dropping 0.01V every couple of seconds! Something is definitely draining that battery.

Ok sounds like i'll be giving him both the heads. Should i leave all the crap in it, like the rockers and shit? i have no clue. Maybe i should tear the head off my third 4k as well haha. combine three into one. we have the technology, we can fix it. >|

WOW. my pedders ones were like 400 bucks..... i got ripped. dammit

i've got 3 K40 (4 gear manual gearboxes) here if you want one. at a reasonable price.

Ok this afternooon after uni i'll grab some degreaser and clean then up and put some more pics up of the bottom face and stuff. i dunno if i'm going to be able to send them both off for him to look at. but we'll see what happens. Is there anything in particular i should be looking for in terms of "brokeness" (i know thats not a word but i've been at uni for hours and my brain is mush) >| on a side note. i attach the head to the block before i attach the extractors to the head right?

the second one (the one with the less dags) looks in better condition. Everything in it isn't covered in an inch of crap unlike the other one, looks like the other motor had a blown headgasket because everything in there is covered in what looks like milkshake. lets call the one with the more "dags" Head1 and the one with less Head2 the car that Head2 came off actually ran quite well, so i might just send that one off to him. Its going to a mates brother so he's just going to do what he can for a case of beer. I'm going to request new everything that can be replaced on it tho. which i'll probably have to pay for, but thats all good.

oh ok, sweet, thanks guys. should i use the bottom one because there are less of the "dags"?

Hey guys, Alec here, been around here a little bit and now i need some help please! I have 3 Ke70s here and a spare engine, one a daily and two parts cars (all 4K-Cs). I want to send one of the heads off to get it machined and new seals and stuff. SO, when i bought one of the cars i got a spare engine with it, i pulled the head off it and the coolant inlet thing (don't know what its called) looked like this so i thought, oh god, its rooted. So i disregarded it and it sat it in the corner. then i went out to my first spare parts car and pulled the head off (i drove this car back from Cairns, so i thought it'd be all good) and the inlet thingy looked like this, there's absolutely none of that ledge thingy in there, is this bad? is it more corroded than the last one? Now i'm in a bit of a rush to get this off to get machined as i don't wana dick around the fella thats doing it for me and i don't wanna send him a useless head. Can someone tell me whether either of these are usabe? or should i take the head off my second parts car? (which i drove home aswell) and check that? I don't know what to do!!! please help :jamie:

needs moar low

yeah maybe, will make her ALOT more fun
