Other Toyotas....

Post by Lateer »

Here's the deal. Being mechanically minded, I was asked to do a head gasket on a 1983 Corolla.

No problems, I thought. Simple, 4K-C engine, no overhead cams, no real worries.

However, I'd like a little more detail when I put the thing back together.

I know some of us here are members on other toyota/corolla/car forums.

Could you guys see if you can track down a workshop manual/specs for the head on a 1983 Toyota Corolla, KE70 series?

If so, that'd be great :)

Looks like one for an '83 here?

That might be it.
However, it seems to constantly rotate stock, so I've got to watch it to get the manual I was after.

Most head gasket sets include the torque settings and order of tightening the bolts.
Check the usual places like REPCO, Coventrys and even SuperCheap for engine gasket sets...
