rebuilder86 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Posted January 15, 2018 I'm coming back to aus in 3 weeks, so get your orders in now (PM ME) Quote
SloRolla Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 What's the quality like on this stuff Jeremy? Quote
rebuilder86 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Things like the dizzy or the carby are absolutely terrible haha but for the price I consider it good value. Its all chinese made and not really comparable to genuine, but for those who need cheap replacements, this country is the go to place. The bearings and pistons and gaskets are all fine and claim to be made in the US, FEDERAL MOGUL. The truth is, we just get screwed in Australia. And in complete contrast the otehrt end of the spectrum, here, everyone is paid chips, from the office worker who orders it, to the port worker who unloads the container. These old engines are just so common here, that the common regular bulk order from china makes it insanely cheap compared to what we get in aus. Edited January 15, 2018 by rebuilder86 Quote
rebuilder86 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) actualyl i take that back, i have this exact carby ( the 3k-4k one) https://store.rytparts.com/carburetor-fits-toyota-corolla-lite-ace-forklift-3k-4k.html, and it hasnt given me any problems in the 2 years ive had it. I've also used their valve stem seals (no issues in 2 years) and their sump gasket (no issues) I really wish they had spark plug tubes. mine have disintegrated and i suspect its causing issues with crap getting into the oil sump.

altezzaclub Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Chase Great Wall for spark plug tubes, the early GWs had Toyota 3Y motors and the tubes are the same. Mate here picked up a brand new set for cheap. Quote
Banjo Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 Good advice Keith ! Spark Plug tubes are the bane of a lot of K series engine owners. Someone on Rollaclub posted they purchased a set of 4 from Toyota, & they were near nearly $ 90.00. Ouch ! A few grams of aluminium & 4 rubber washers/seals. Cheers Banjo Quote
rebuilder86 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Posted January 16, 2018 jeesus that is the best thing anyon3 has ever told me. thank u Quote
bruce Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 Seen many Tamaraw vans around over there Jeremy? They used to be quite common; used as taxis. They've got a 5K engine. Quote
rebuilder86 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Posted January 17, 2018 yes they are the source of all the 5ks i talk of. I'm grnhinely trying to work out a way to economically get a whole lot of them, just the blocks and pistons amd crankshaft and camshaft assemblies into boxes and shipped to Perth. the balikbayan service is actually designed to go the opposite, from aus to philippines, so I'm trying to work out if any of the smaller services can do the reveerae trip. 1 Quote
rebuilder86 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Posted January 17, 2018 this is how I'm thinking of doing it. quote from bmexpress.com website reverse cargo services Sea Cargo – Port to Port $250 per BM Jumbo Balikbayan box Manila to Australian Port Only –The Receiver has the responsibility to release the boxes thru Australian Customs. *BM will provide the documents and instructions on how to release the boxes Min Volume – 3 Boxes (No Weight Limit) Delivery Timeframe – 4-5 weeks Reciever must pick up boxes from the agents warehouse in Australia Restricted Items – Dangerous goods, Perishable Items, Items of wooden material, Commercial and newly purchased items are subject to taxes and duties.

bruce Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 OK, yeah liteaces with 5k engines here seem pretty rare now. I think those boxes are around 600mm across. Might be worthwhile to get a shipping container full, but the import fees would add up. Quote
rebuilder86 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Posted January 22, 2018 yeh if i do large quantaties, authorities will raise eyelids. I'm more inclined to just help out 3 people at a time and bring over 3 as a personal shipment once a year. the liteace 5k is also here, but most of them are dead now, but those tamaraws are everywhere, and many of them still have running 5ks in them Quote
