ajg193 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 98% of carburetor problems are ignition. Throw in a new set of points and a condenser. Also check how black your spark plugs are, it could just be that you have the wrong jets in the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I reckon the 211 degree cam from Kennelly would do you good. 5K can handle a bit more cam than a 4K without losing too much usability When I had one in my 4K it was a little gutless below 2500 but above 3000 until 7000 it just kept pulling. Was a little lumpy at idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Rolla Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Yea I have been looking at the Auckland cams #563 Kennelly M2 Kelford 196-A All quite similar. So will probably got with Auckland cams as it's close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 There are more profiles than listed on any of the suppliers websites, chat with them and see what they recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Compression ratio depends on the cam you want to run. You need to know when the intake valve is closing then you can calculate the desired dynamic compression ratio. Just blindly aiming for 10:1 isn't really ideal. For every increase in compression ratio by 1 you only get 3% more power or thereabouts, so it really makes no sense to increase compression for just getting more power. Best off to match to your cam to get optimal results (best power without pinging). Best yet, ask the cam grinder what ratio they recommend with that cam. https://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Cam_and_compression_ratio_compatibility 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Rolla Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Ahh yea that's makes a lot of sense. Will talk to the cam guys and figure something out. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piazzanoob Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 for the cam situation i would recommend henry at Auckland cams have used him and is very helpful and isn't badly priced. i would also talk to him about compression ratio and what you want to do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Exhaust gaskets? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Rolla Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 @kyteler Yup that looks about right. Never seen one before. My current exhaust has no joins lol. Thanks for the quick reply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE25 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Quote exhaust rings go between the primary (manifold) and sencondary runners. ie two of same size. The single larger ring is for the 4 into 1 style manifold where it connects to rest of exhaust. Pic is of a km36 van 5k manifold which is kinda reverse of the corolla version. Made up a new flange to suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Rolla Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Anyone have any ideas how to attack this rust? It's located on the passenger side under the cowl(?) The cowl/louver appears to be spot welded on. Is it possible to remove this with the windscreen still in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoom Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Trying to fix rust in that area is a pain in the arse. Take out the dash or just the glove box and access it from the back. Mine looks a bit different because it has the heater inlet holes blocked off because racecar and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Jo_Rolla Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 @Adoom I'm not sure it's rusted through. Would you recommend cutting it out? I was wondering if sand blasting the area would work then painting the shit out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact cut it out way bigger than you need so you can get something in there to clean back as much of the surfaces as you can. I'm a fan of a bicycle cable through a pice Of rod in a drill. Then paint and load it up with fishoil or wax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if sand blasting the area would work then painting the shit out of it? I'd aggressively scrape at it with a screwdriver you don't like much or some other sharp pointy thing so you can see how bad it is. If it's just light surface rust you could clean it up real good and paint over it. Epoxy if you have it, but something like hammerite is probably good enough. If there is any pitting, and definitely if there are pin holes, I'd want to cut that out and weld a patch in. But I've had a bunch of practice welding panel steel.....

Jo_Rolla Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Just now, Adoom said: I'm having difficulty imaging this thing you describe. I think he means running cable through a hole in a rod. Then putting that into a drill? Sounds like a compact wire wheel. Kind of I will give it a poke with something or can I leave it and pretend I didn't see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
