3.55 was the std gear for all corsas.

the std gear for other engines & models could be the 3.55 or 3.27. just depends on what model/engine/trans combo your talking about.

welding is kind of the ez part of the job. after welding you need to drill the hole for the spark plug. you need to machine the weld flat for the spark plug. you need to tap the hole for the spark plug threads. think about how your going to do these things. w/o the right tools & a mill or a good...

i dont think the tools in the otc 4461 are going to be helpful for the twin lock stuff.

it needs something like the tweezer tool in the lisle 57750 kit. prob the silver tool or the blue one.

it a universal block. gm parts supply to fit all engines. kind of rare part you have there. in NZ no less!

the big plug is for the wagon & truck oil check/oil fill tube.
the small plug is the oil temp sensor - 1960/61 engines.

Hi, just sharing a little about my original black CA plates, I'm pretty sure that I found them piled into the car's interior. Title matches them up. My new white CA plates are very lightweight in comparison. why didnt you go w/the original black ca plates? its cool to see a old car in ca w/the orig...

yes...............all 64-9 cranks are the same except the 140 & 180 hp engines had cranks which were nitrided. some say that after '67 not all 140 hp engines had nitrided cranks.

sounds like a voltage regulator buzzing? get your ear that that & see if the buzz is coming from it. with a cold engine....remove the fan belt. run the engine w/o the fan belt for a minute or so. if the buzz isnt there then its prob not coming from the engine but from something else................

Hi I have a 140 corsa have been trying to balance carbs and in the process have found the primary carb on left of engine seems to have a air leak from a hole just under idle screw adjuster. I can seem to find what should if any thing go there any advice thanks just under the idle screw is a hole fo...

#1 goes on #2 shaft.

look @ the tang/lever........you can see how the spring goes. the spring lets #2 shaft move....open/close & keeps the fast cam touching the lever. the fast cam should be off the lever w/the choke open & on the big part of the cam w/the choke shut.

if its a turbo head..........it could be that the 110 dropped a seat or trashed the head & it was replaced it w/a turbo head. sounds backwards yea...but lots of people treated vairs like throw away cars & lots of them were butchered repaired w/any spare or junk yard part that was sitting aro...

like the other post said.......cc the heads so you know what you got. does the invoice say what otto cam is in the engine? it would have to be a real big cam to let the valves run into the piston. he prob added all the gaskets cuz he didnt understand what he was doing. i dont think the heads needed...
