Anyway I have been quoted $500. to have a new set of extractors fitted because apparently the standard corolla extractors don't fit. Does anyone know if there are any wrecks in Melbourne that I can get the extractors off? any other options? I can't afford $500 right now because I am studying.

I'm pretty surprised to learn that our stock alternators put out 60amps, or if you were lucky, you got a 70amp model at best. This is disappointing, considering the stereo upgrades I've been doing, and that I want to add a couple PIAA lights that I bought. They are only about 4-5amps each however, combined with the 5-10 extra amps the stereo is capable of using, I'm running into a possible problem. I know the ECU etc can take probably 40amps at peak, throw in the heater for another 20 amps, normal headlights, etc. suddenly you've got a big party with no amps! =(

I'm researching some high output alternators, but all of them seem to put out too much power and cost too much. I'm going to call some local shops around here, I'll post what ends up happening.

From my "friend" with the EPC, I found out the alternator was used on 4AF, 4AFE, 5AFE and some others, used in Corolla's, Sprinter, Sprinter Carib, Corona, and Carina's with those engines.]]> Sat, 29 May 2010 20:34:27 dylangumby http://www.alltracwagon.net/forum/m-1273978789/ http://www.alltracwagon.net/forum/m-1273978789/#num1
Also, I went to the auto parts store and picked up a set of valve cover grommets (that go under the three nuts).  This is the part:

FEL-PRO Part # ES72123

But the set includes four grommets -- there are only three as far as I know.  And if I didn't know any better, I'd say they were different than the ones holding down my VC.  Well, other than the fact they're new & rubbery and not solid as a rock.

I'll try to take some pics when I get a chance -- been busy lately.  Maybe I'll make a short video of the old VC gasket as I throw it on the ground... I'm sure it will shatter, it was that bad!  Oil everywhere in the engine bay.  Here's hoping this is going to be an easy fix for my poor oil-leaking All-Trac.]]> Sat, 15 May 2010 20:59:49 Rogue
