Taz_Rx Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 ummm, dished piston yes..... Hydro..... don't think so. Thats why people want the pushrods out of them for solid conversions!? :hmm: Quote
Jono.C Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Posted September 9, 2012 Oh really?? I assumed it was hydro like my 5k.. might have to pull my rocker cover off and have a look! I have no idea about how 4ku compares to a normal 4k. Can I use normal 4k grinds in them with the same result? Quote
kickn5k Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 It will be interesting to see how my new rear swaybar mounts compared to yours. Quote
Jono.C Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Posted September 9, 2012 Well, seems the only fair way to test is a race? ;) Quote
Jono.C Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah once i get my 5 speed in though, Stuff going 2 speed! I was curious about putting it on the dyno before and after my box swap to see if it makes much of a difference, But i didn't want to bare the embarrassment if it couldn't actually spin the roller's :P Would be an interesting race though once my suspension goes in, just to see if it was any faster.. Getting a new bonnet, bootlid, beaver panel and a spare pair of guards this week off a mate who bought one simply the 4ag that was in it. Also cutting the rear end off as i may need a repair section for between my tailights Quote
frasian Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 4k vs 4k is a race I'm willing to put money on :lovin: Quote

Taz_Rx Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 4ku dished pistons non hydro single row timingchain pretty sick motors. Ok well cam could come with free double row gears as I just installed my roll master. Quote
Jono.C Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Posted September 12, 2012 I have no idea what I'm doing with this now.. Just went to hone out the 5k and 3rd cylinder's no good, with the other 3 following suit, don't really have the desire or money to go oversize or sleeved block at moment so looks like it'll be put away for another day.. My 4k-u that's in it now has a suspected dodgy 3rd cylinder, as is gunked up a plug with oil and it blows a tiny amount of smoke.. so I might put some thicker oil in it and hopefully with a manual on the back it won't be as stressed and behave a little better.. Or I have 2 4k's spare at the moment, one running one with the head off So unless anyone has a good bare 5k block or something.. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 I just picked up my new oversize bottom end last week, now assembled. 0.5mm, endurotech d dished slugs and some honda chrome moly rings. Was about $375 all up. Was messaging stu last night, now has 7:1 c/r. Quote
