Hey, an update! I finally found a machinist here and luckily our house is on his way to his shop and he will pick up my stuff when I'm ready! What service! (This is in Costa Rica by the way) He says between $400-500 for bore, hone, balance, and valve job and all other machining incidentals I'm not l...

OH thanks, I just started another post on this before I found your response! I'm going to try them!

Good times!

Thanks Petros! I appreciate the instructions! I have all those items except my scale is analog style but should get me close enough...I am currently trying to figure out how to make a valve spring compressor to dissassemble the heads...

Good times!

Thanks Petros! I pulled the head on the 3a today as I'm going to use that crank, and possibly rods since I could get the new pistons set up for the 4a before pulling it for the rebuild. I can scavenge the 3a heads for cam, spings, valves, ect for the 4a if needed, correct? I have new exhaust valves ...

This has been asked before, but I need to hear it again...is the 3ac head the same as the 4ac cyl head-meaning the 3ac head will work on the 4ac block? My 4ac is plugging along but has one really bad cylinder. I have the 3ac sitting here The crank on the 3ac looks perfect and the bearings, although ...

YES! ^^^^^^^

I have found these on ebay and look like they might work on my front end of my '86 wagon (FWD) ; SuperPro Polyurethane Front Sway Bar To Lower Control Arm Car Bush Kit SPF1064K http://www.ebay.com/itm/331509011691?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT SuperPro Polyurethane F...

After 200 miles and getting close with tuning the weber, I pulled the plugs and found #1 oil fouled, 2 and 3 are nice, #4 has oil but #1 is bad-crusty and gooey! So biding time while I make a stateside trip and pick up parts for my rebuild. Meanwhile the wife can get around fair enough without going...

I am really happy (read LUCKY) with this worn out 4ac and how good it runs! I didn't weigh before and after but my machinist cut a bunch off the flywheel and it revs noticably quicker than the 3ac and also I removed a easy 50# of A/C items too-everything firewall forward and even cut the A/C compres...

Before the Weber, the Aisin which was bleeding fuel but ran well, fuel log entries were; 21.7, 21.5, 24.1, 24, 27.7 (highest), 23.3, 22, and last tank was 22. When I first put the Weber on the 3ac, my first tank was 25 and the next two tanks I recorded at 24.5 and 24.1. Then I adjusted the float and...

At this time with 140/140 main jets, the 65/55 idle jet, the 180/170 air combo works best for this car. The 180/180 made the "bog" higher in rpm and more noticable. The 180/170 is pretty smooth! We'll see about mileage with this idle jet. Tried a 60 idle jet and that also exaggerated the b...

It drove very nice with the 140's and 180/170 air...I'm going to try 180/180 air as that is what I have. Also 140 is the smallest main I have. I want to try a 135 main and also a 190 air! On the F6 emulsion tube I mentioned before, that is only on the secondaries, and I have a F50 on primaries. I'm ...

With my 3ac my best was 34mpg on a tank! When I first put it on, 27mpg "out of the box"! I spent a month playing with jets, air correctors, and idle jets and drove it for 3 years of over 30mpg per tank until about a year ago after leaving it sit for 3 months evidently the mech advanced sei...

I have the 4ac in the Tercel and running. But it needs to be overhauled! I plan on doing it around Christmas '16 and feel comfortable that the engine will take care of my wife until then. I have purchased Sterling pistons #12324P- 75mm (.030) oversized along with rings. I am looking at gasket sets a...

I don't have a timing light. I have the distributor out and the vac advance pulls the mag pickup plate smooth and far! I hear the mech weights flopping back and forth under the plate and can see the springs and weights and they look dry and crusty but weights are flopping around! EDIT- The mechanica...
