First off all i have an ae82 red hatch, i love it.A month ago i decided to up grade the power of my red rocket. After i rang around for suiting motors for my corolla i had sent down from bris to mel a 4agze that cost $2800 at my frount one halh cut delived.
After one week of working out all the wiring loom and getting it close to driving i found that the motor had a blown head gasket after 5mins of it running and the hose blowing off almost spraying my best mate with boiling hot water.
A week later i had $200 put into my bank from asain auto spairs and a good luck because that is all you will get from us. i removed the motor and started to repair the head ,had it mechined and all the other stuff that had to be done it was put back togeather.
Now that i have the motor back in i am not happy that the thing still not going right and this is my problem,when i put the cams and belt on i dont know if i did it right because i think the car is still not running right due to this.There is two small lines just behined the timing gears on the metal backing whitch i lined the to dots on the cam gears when the first piston was top dead centre, have i done that part right?
there is no were near as much pulling power as there was before i removed the motor the only other thing i can think that i have done wrong is i have put the vac hoses on wrong some where .
I have been looking on the net for days and the only hose diagram i can find is the American one with the air flow meter when mine is the map censor can someone please help me or give me a name of a good 4agze mechanic in melbourne
