salamz brothers...today I got my engine from the machine shop and also received some parts from Karachi like oil pump(genuine)timing chain adjuster(genuine)and piston rings etc as these things were not available from lahore.only replacements were there in the market but original/genuine parts of this car are hard to find(because it is 25 years old car)..any how will start reassemble tomorrow and will post pics INSHALLAH.

anticipating...
really want to watch and learn!...

This is actually a wonderful step Spitfire sir!...I dont think anyone else would have done this at home, totally on their ownn and would have managed to show it here! We do have a few very good experts here, but they are hard to catch on PW nowadays!

Plz start with the action!

@spectra....brother,I took the pics of engine overhaul and will be posted very soon with details.KE70 corolla 82 is the last rear wheel drive car.I have kept every model of corolla but did not find any comparable to 82 corolla in respect of its durability and ride comfort.my corolla still have original front shocks and rear replaced once.universal joints of driveshaft replaced only twice in 2,50.000 KM. Never touched engine for any thing except tune up (done by me as I have all the necessary things like "dwell metre,timing gun "etc...so,,this car never gave me any kind of trouble in 25 years...........great machine.
