help 4afe

[Ted_v2]

currently im repairing a ceres which holds a 4afe 16 valve

engine block has a crack on it

head gasket failed and on further looking at the old gasket it wasnt seating properly and the gasket was deformed (which gave me a idea it was blown a while ago)

changed out the gasket and the plugs gasket ( o rings around where the valve covers meets the plugs which was also blown )

on start up the engine block started throwing oil through the crack on the block (didnt know it had a crack on the block before )

i need some advice

do i go with a 4afe head and block

or can a go with a 5afe head and block? ( getting a steal of a deal) on one

5afe block will work once your getting it for ah good price............

[Ted_v2]

^ use back the head?

[clone101]

If your getting ah good head & block why scrap 1 head to use on ah next block if nothing wrong with the 5afe head & block use it back as is..................

i end up buying a 5afe engine and scrapping and transfering the head and block

you could use a 4afe or 5afe block but remember the head gasket are different

[Ted_v2]

^ nice info

end up pelting the 4afe how far i could

5afe head and block replaced it and used all 4afe parts on the outside even tb

worked on the transmission normal


car is up and running

suppose to be faster than a regular 5a because 4afe use 4-2-1 header from factory

[Ted_v2]

cant say for sure about the speed gain

because the gasket was blown a while ago from what i saw

it was heavily deteriorated , what caused the crack in the block was unknown but it was widen due to the fans stopped working due to a faulty temp sensor
