I Need Head!

[Bakewell]

hi to all. i need a head for my paseo 96 engine 5E-FE. i have an head but missing little bits little the valve buckets or tops, the end covers for the cam, the bridges to hold the cam in place, and a pulley! or does anyone know where i can find a company that do vernier pulleys.

Usually you shouldn't take cam bridges from another head. Camshaft journals are line bored and have to be kept with their matching caps.

oh :censor: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! <_< i just remember that

there arent any for the paseo engine. aem USED to make some, but i mean, its been discussed i think on this forum as well, adjustable vernier pulleys on a paseo are useless as any change to the intake timing is replicated in the exhaust timing as theyre joined by sum fancy butterfly arrangement thingy, i dunno

[toyotasera.co.uk]

The intake and the exhaust cams are geared together, so its awkward to adjust the overlap, but not impossible.

I have several 5E-FHE heads including valve buckets if required, but no 5E-FHE cams.

i could do with the 5e-fe head as my cams were sent to kent cams who reground them, i believe. i see what you will the single pully running two cams didn't think!

You could use a EP91 4E-FTE head on your '96 Paseo.

Flows better.

[Bakewell]

could i still use the same cams or not. how much work is need to fit the 4e-fte head.

[riko666]

yeh, coz isnt the 4e-fte twin cam, so would have a different head profiling??

and bakewell, when u get ur cams back could u tell me wat theyre like? possibly any power improvements and stuff

[toyotasera.co.uk]

Can you provide proof that a 4E-FTE head flows better than the 5E-FHE / 5E-FE head.

the 4E-FE, 5E-FE and 5E-FHE are all twin cam engines...

[riko666]

o rite, sorry, thot the 5efe was single cam :!Removed!:

[Bakewell]

i could not tell you if it going better as i have never driven the car stock, got it in bits so i will have to see agains another seo or something! i really want the car running, its like beening a little kid waiting for christmas!

[riko666]

d'oh, well how does it run with the reground camshaft, like is the idle uneven, or is the power delivery peaky etc etc...

[Bakewell]

the paseo is a rolling Shell and the engine is stripped to the block, i am rebuilding it so all bearings are new etc.
