  1. Cracked ringlands on the side of pistons, turbo seals or valve stem oil seals. Whats it doin? Burning oil Knocking Powerloss Wont start Any damage to the headgasket?
  2. Boxys and anything old rwd are a huge import into Ireland. We bought al the corolas in england and now import old escorts from poland new zealand and austrailia
  3. All cranks are stamped fte all heads are the.same just later uk ones have a waterway blocked and a 4efte block has 3 holes around.the oil filter area instead of one bug thingy in the middle. Fte pistons are dished 5efe pistons are nearly flat, fhe pistons have abit of a bump and 4efe pistons have a huge bump. 4efe conrods are skinny- but so are glanza conrods. Designed to bend, not break
  4. I got my calipers honed and fitted oversized pistons from toyota. Great job and think it was 80pounds for everything. The circlip holding in the screw that the piston turns on can be a nightmare. Piston out, inspect the bore and make sure the big screw isnt damaged. Does anyone know what causes all the calipers to sieze. It was a bust boot water and rust on mine
  5. Well if its blocked then your gettin slighty less air at idle so it could be that. Cant see any photos and dont know what car this is on so couldnt comment at the minute. Unscrew your oilcap and see does your revs change. If the engine side is blocked it will cause a lumpy idle on our 4e
  6. Secondhand ones come up regularly if.u wanna keep your eyes open, but yeah their worth every penny.
  7. Cover it in grease and it will be fine. Adjustable one is around £150 new I think. Get new rubber bushesfor the front one aswell and your sorted
  8. If its just fourth and fifth change to a 5speed levin gbox. Cant mind the number but shoulnt be hard found on the search button Or glanza box
  9. Sold within hours man. If id seen it quicker Id habe.taken itmyself
  10. Make sure what u block it with doesnt get sucked into the engine. Vent to atmosphere, dont block the engine side of it as it must vent. Get fixed soon as you can afford as it needs vaccum to suck the fumes out of the engine
  11. That's not an oil leak... Its sweat from all the horse power!
