Overhauling My Corolla (My Mate Since'82)

[spitfire]

@gunshippilot.....lol.....brother,actually the aim is to provide some basic knowledge about the engine and how it is overhauled for my pakwheel brothers So if they come across these kind of situation like getting their engine overhauled(which is not very likely these days)in future,they can get it done in a better way...as all the engines are alike(more or less)from inside .....talking about the basics...

[spitfire]

@xain....it is all original inside and like new ,dash,roof every thing superb..quality was there in those days which is absent these days..
@saadisb....
@ateekt....
@waqarcheema.....
@omermumtaz......
I AM VERY SORRY BROTHERS FOR THE DELAY IN POSTING....actually electricity problem is quite severe in our area .UPS with the pc also not working properly so the time I could spare ,was spent in spitfire thread any how....updates are on their way...once again sorry for delay..

@spitfire ...Sir this surely must be a great chance to learn again...btw the mustang u mentioned in the other thread i know about it .....it belongs to the service shoes people

After getting the engine out of the car I thought that I should get it overhauled before putting it back in the car.but this thing came in my mind quite late that I should share the overhaul with my pakwheel brothers so I did not take pics of getting the engine out of the car and getting it dismantled.but covered it completely when assembling the engine.....
when you decide to get an engine overhauled you have to choose from some options which are there.......
either some savings are looking for or quality and durability is the basic object.....
as far as engine block is concerned there are again two options
(1)going for a sleeve(boring the cylenders to a bigger size and inserting hollow steel inserts in them again boring them to receive the standerd (as previously using)pistons and rings...
(2)boring the cylenders to a slightly bigger size just to make it round again and using a little bit bigger size pistons which are available.....
in first option the metal which is in contact with the piston rings is not as original and wears out quicker than the original...so engine life is not as per original....but fuel consumption will remain the same due to the same sizes piatons and rings...
in second option..the material of the bore remains the same original and if you put original/genuine piston and rings...life of the engine will be like it was new...but .. a little more fuel consumption due to oversized pistons....
but I went for second option as this engine was in a very good condition so only 0.50 oversized pistons were required for the new bore......
first of all introduction of my mechanic.....I trained him my self when he was a child and now taking care of all my rides(including spitfires) for about 15 years......obviously at home as I have a complete collection of tools for this purpose...so here he is.....he is a great fan of my RX7 and wanted his pic with his favourite car........

now have a look at the engine block which is back from the machine shop havig overbored to receive 0.50 oversized pistons and rings....see.

spitfire:

if i were u i would had taken oppertunity to swap 4age16v in car and lsd diff. and drive some quality. You dont see good 82 's running ard here with 4age.

Mostly are owned by youngsters who waste engines in racing.

[spitfire]

@levin...thankx brother for the advice....actually every nut and bolt is original in this car thats why I am keeping this car.othewise there is no sence in keeping such an old car.you are right that 4k engine is not a modern engine but believe me its a "work horse" and without any trouble.second point is that I have never tried or used any machine to its limits.Basically I am a slow driver even on highways..like dont go beyond 100 km/h or 120km/h on motorway so dont require the performance...thats why sticking to the old but original setup...any how thanks for your suggestion...

I remember my 82 was TTC and i use to get 16 KMPL on highways the car was amazing.

[levin]

spitfire.. you have kept savana rx7 that's why i thought you may like some similar response from yr rolla82.

as for me, i still find 4age engines best for old rollas. easy fit,, no big hassles,, pretty durable,, sufficient power for relaxed driving etc

[SER_GTR]

Hello!
@levin....thats what i said in my previous post...!
4AGE 16V NON TVIS...Small Port......! wiTh T-50
Aaah.....! This 82 Is gonna be something special.....!! Like This........K-50 tranny can also be mated with 4AGE but better you mate T-50......!

Its my wish to make one RWD with something like GE...!

Regards

Hello!
@Palay.......Lala you also have one Clean 82 Rolla Gem....!and milage is pretty far over...
why don't you think of 4AGE 16V NON TVIS in that....!!!
as you have already driven some 77 Rollas on 4AGE 16V and you know how they fell in some RWD cars

Spitty, i had a 1980 Toyota Corolla station wagon,drove it for 250,000 miles (not-Kilometers),it would not die,eventually it had an accident on the free way,its under carriage got damaged but i still kept it, eventually my wife forced me to sell it.
I just might have some pictures of it somewhere, if i find one ,i will post them .
Sometimes i miss my car.......
