Hi guys, looks like we're looking for hens teeth

We're rebuilding a 1990 Corolla 4A motor (carb 16v) and need valve shims

Phoned most of the spares/engineering shops in Pretoria but still can't find any

Do you know please where we can get?

Thanks

they just phoned me and told me the results:
(at the wheels)
power: 78
torque: 350

o ja hulle se die boost is 10 pond (of .7 bar?)

good / bad / ok?

thanks!

anthonyhugo

yes please

what would i need for a "bare" head and how much would it cost?

all the stuff that was in and on the old head got smashed, they were on the back of the other bakkie and got thrown on the road

thanks!!

anthonyhugo

awesome news guys! just got a "ball park" quote from SAC and it seems that if they fit the new head it would cost about R5,000 incl. a dyna! that's a lot less than i was thinking

anthonyhugo

thanks oooms, you know how long we should make the towing bar?

i was thinking about 1.8m??

anthonyhugo

thanks i took your advice guys, i managed to get an uncle to help me tow the hilux back this coming friday, i asked hentie to tell the "mechanic" to halt all work another question please, my dad is helping me weld a towing bar together, what's the legal requirement / suggested length of th...

anthonyhugo

thanks sooo much for the info Dewald, to be honest i left it as is (my bad), it locks but the light inside the cab flashes the whole time (perhaps a sensor or something cheap i hope?)

anthonyhugo

As jy nie bome gaan afkap nie vat 'n ordentlike klein byl. Ek kap baie hout vir vuurmaak en glo my jy kap nie lekker hout met 'n groot byl nie. 'n Klein byl gaan jou ook tot 'n mate help as jy moet pad bou. Het 'n groot byl al 6 jaar lank en nog net 1 keer gebruik, het twee klein byltjies en gebrui...

anthonyhugo

dankie oooms, ek neig sterk na die medium size byl, was net bang ek kom daar aan met my klein byl dan lag die ouens vir my hehehe

weet julle of 'n ou erens nog daai 1950 jeep GRAWE kan kry? daai nices wat jy kan omdraai met die pik steel aan die een kant?

anthonyhugo

eish ek moet ook nou 'n graaf koop maar kan nie besluit of ek die ronde kop op platkop moet kry nie..............

miskien moet ek maar net 'n coin flip??? :)

kan julle my asb. advies gee vir 'n byl ook? soek 'n ou 'n lang handvatsel of kort handvatsel as jy in die bundu is?

groetnis
ant

I had the same problem a while back. Pulled out the difflock unit cleaned, fitted it back and replaced the oil in the diff and viola, haven't had the problem again. There is a thread here on the forum explaining everything about the DiffLock on a KZ-TE. Hope it helps. wow sounds like a big job, can...

anthonyhugo

hi i'm in waverley (corlett drive close to wanderers cicket stadium), why?

anthonyhugo

there's nothing wrong with the KZ she's beautiful, it's just the diff light that's on, it'll cost me R2000 to repair

i just love those new raiders as well :)

anthonyhugo

haha yeah i need to get the diff sorted :)

i was also thinking 130K (or more? :))

I just got a quote from the dealers, the auto electrician says its the diff lock ECU that has an error on it that he can't clear, he has to replace it and it will cost me R2100 total (not too bad) You guys know if there's a way to clear an error on a ECU or should I just bite the bullet and pay the ...

anthonyhugo

Thanks for the info so far! The dealership was kind enough today to get an auto electrician in at no cost to me for a second opinion - so tomorrow ill hear the verdict Its a stock standard diff that the KZTE came out with in 2003 (I'm not sure what type of diff it is?) I really really hope its just ...

The guy came back and said that sac don't want to fit a inter cooler in front of the radiator because the KZTE tends to overheat.

anthonyhugo

P. S. You might want to tidy up that wiring in the load body and also watch the intercooler radiator that you don't snag it on an obstacle. A lot of guys move them out of the way .... there is a thread here somewhere that covers it ... do a search for "Intercooler" and read through the po...
