Replaced candles - Toyota Corolla, 1.5 L, 1998

Replaced candles - Toyota Corolla 15 L 1998

Set of candles DENSO K16R-U11 = 320 rubles.
I replaced it myself in 10 minutes.
Ordered front brake discs Nipparts = 2000 rubles.

In the photo there are old candles ~ 15000 km of run, 92 gasoline.

By the way, does anyone know where in Moscow they can properly adjust the valves on the Toyota 5A-FE engine?
And then, according to the regulations, every 20 tyk check the gaps, of course no one has ever checked them.

Price tag: 2 320 ₽ Mileage: 151 800 km

Well, this is because there are still few prouls.
But within 2 days, you can get almost everything if the question is not in total.
Because a thread of a bolt costs 10 rubles, they carry it for a month. And for 140 rubles they will bring you even tomorrow.

I'm not talking about analyzes, it's better not to buy such parts there ...
Let's say without problems and I can buy them inexpensively any day from 9-20, but here I corresponded with the guys from St. Petersburg, they say it's a bad thing with this ...

The adjusting washers are not for sale on parses, but fly from Japan :)
It is possible in 2 days, but 2 times more expensive)

Even with spare parts there you have ... it looks like ...)

Yes, I say - maybe there is, but so far no one is injecting, where are good private traders :)

Again troubles - either disassemble the head, measure the gaps, then put everything back together and drive until the washers arrive, or do not assemble and wait 2 weeks until the necessary ones are brought.
And ordering the whole set is expensive - they are from 100 rubles a piece, there are about 10 sizes of them and 4 pieces are needed for each size.

And there are no private traders?)

So here is the problem in finding specialists - no one can tell normal services in Moscow time.
Of course, you can try japancars, but the price will be increased there ...

It is better to contact the specialists, you never know ...

There are adjusting washers and until you open your head it is impossible to find out which ones you need.
This is one of the problems.

I

Well, in principle, the adjustment is not particularly difficult, but what to change there is a scribe ...)
And you need to adjust the plate of the appropriate size and truncate, put it under load, put the plate and go!

If there was a garage, I would have made a word myself.
People in 4E-FE changed the cylinder head gasket on the street itself :)
He once poured from the cops had busted radiator, so he went to him and 50 km, and then finally head off led)

4 valves, yes.
In the coloring book I looked at the description of the valve adjustment process and realized that if people have never done this, then it is better not to trust them with this work.
For ours, as always, will disassemble everything with a hammer and a grinder, and the manual clearly states that nothing can be pulled out with the use of force, especially the camshafts - they should be easily removed.

Yoptot I don't really understand in these engines ...)
Do you have 4 valves per cylinder?)
And in service centers, it is generally better to contact private traders ...)

And I don't have VVT-i, bgg)

But I'm afraid to trust my engine to just anyone, and I don't know the normal services where the valves will be properly adjusted.
Moreover, it is impossible to know in advance what size new adjusting washers to order, their sizes are like 20 pieces.

There are no hydraulic lifters on the 5A-FE, there are adjusting washers! Therefore, it is necessary to regulate them (valves) periodically.

The knocking is also heard at idle. But this is more likely not even a knock, but clicks.

And all this is from the excellent Russian gasoline, vkhai is trying to adjust to it ...

Most likely, hydraulic lifters are tapping ...
And if you give a load to the engine and then the valve taps ...) usually this is checked in 3rd gear

And it is not clear whether the valves are knocking, or the nozzles are clicking.
Rhythmic clicks are heard in the area of ​​the nozzles, but again there is the "thinnest" place, so to speak, where I suppose you can hear the valve.

If I knew how the valves knock, then I could definitely determine)

Good, favorable soot! And what about the valves? Chtoli knock? If not, then why climb there ... and I hear about 20 thousand for the first time ...)
