  1. are they the same diameter as ke70 springs? but shorter i guess?
  2. lol@you saying not to spam in a tec thread there isnt a fullproof way that i know of but a compression test and cylinder leakage test would be a good place to start, also check the hoses and overflow bottle. if they look like they have been replaced reciently then ask why? maybe it had a cracked overflow bottle or burst hose at some time which my have cause it to overheat. check that there isnt any signs of leaking coolant from the radiator, thermostat housing, overflow bottle or radiator and check the coolant condition. and if it is a later model car with obd2 then check for old fault codes that could have been logged if it had overheated. also do some research into common faults wiith the vehicle, overheater might be one of them, like 1mz powered camrys that overheat at the first sign of trouble.
  3. i wish they new what my diddle smelled like
  4. i used to go upto the parts girls at toyota and ask them to what it smelled like - gaging usually followed
  5. nice/ spend money on it and make it awwwwesome
  6. i have a mate jamming a holden v6 into a sigma, nice and simple to do. good torque and ok power. is a bit bogan though lol
  7. cant go wrong for 25 bucks, hopefully it has everything to do your carb as it says from 28-34 pict but there is a huge difference between a 28 and 34

  12. sweet, i try and rock 5.1 when i can
  13. on an engine that isn't running i'm as confident as a mechanic i'd say, i rebuild bikes in my spare time, so no stranger to doing valve clearances, as for doing clearances when running, thats something ive never tryed is easy as, actually easier when its running
  14. a guy i used to work with rebuilt a old morris 1100 engine for a mate years ago, after he was finished he started it up and it made a taping noise so he pulled it apart, found nothing wrong then put it back together and fired it up...it still made the noise. long story short, his mate had swapped the dipstick with a longer one and it was rubbing on the crank
  15. stock pile them while there cheap
  16. i wouldnt worry about it over cooling the oil, my concern would be that there are more places for oil to leak from
  17. i wouldnt trust my life on those cheap rims though, especially when you are putting down that sorta power. used to see you daily this beast all the time (worked around the corner from you when you worked at birchall and maunder) looks and sounds tough.
  18. welcome to oldschool, what time is the dx doing down the quarter these days?
