Re: Getting the PS Halfshaft out

Shouldn't be hard, unless all the grease is gone, just keep rotating and wiggling it all angles. Taking the boot off may help you visualise what yo...

Re: KLZE head gasket

Slinkys got it covered, but sure.. 1) There are tolerances you're allowed before your block/heads are considered to far out for machining in the shop manual. I had my heads skimmed despite them looking flat, looking back I probably didn't need to. But I don't like the word probably in a head rebuild...

Re: [Ebay] rotary powered mx-3

wow wish I had the time to do something nuts like that! Engine bay looks so spacious. I have to agree the light conversions do not work well with the lines of the car. RWD mx3 would be such fun. Id be seriously considering it if it were over here :shock:

Re: KLZE head gasket

The torque specs seem to be the same. I got a new set of ajusa head bolts for doing mine, which are for all k series engines. These had a torque guide of how to tighten without distinguishing between engines, but was slightly different from the manual. Make sure you measure your bolts if you're reus...

Re: head internal swap

I used a magnetic tool that came with my valve spring compressor tools, and my finger :lol: But yea a socket should work, perhaps something soft inbetween to prevent damage though. Put a little bit of clean oil on the contact areas of the seal - where it attaches to the head and the inside for the v...

Re: head internal swap

Is it not best to use DE springs on intake?
KLZE has 40lb seat pressure, 140lb open pressure Valve springs
KLDE has 50lb seat pressure, 150lb open pressure.
Not that I'd know for sure, I just rebuilt mine with interprep springs all round :D
