Thanks for all the replies I'll go shopping for the basics and buy the rest when I come to it but this is a great list so far. About the engine manual, I have an AE82 repair manual but I better find one specifically for the GZE although i'm unsure from where to get it?

**quiksilv** · 11-10-2007, 08:05 PM

If you dont have a standard socket/spanner set. Go to bunning and get a Cresent tool set which folds up into a carry container. You may need a few larger spanners and a good torque wrench.

I rebuild the whole ke30 4agte with the cresent set plus a few other tools. Not bad for 128 dollars.
Bunnings catledog:

wow thats not bad actually... but ill probably just stick to buying individual sets (sidchrome on ebay perhaps and bunnings and supercrap should provide the rest)

What vintage 4AGZE? early(USA AW11 type) or later (AE92/AE101 non USA type)? If it is early I, or one of the other USA members can order it from Toyota for you... and if it is later, ask a member in one of that 4AGZE's market to do the same... CAN'T beat the factory manusl!!!

Thanks, I dont have the engine yet but am hoping for a later smallport MAP GZE (AE101?)...i've heard of some people getting them from toyota but they are in Japanese!

Even if you cant find a ZE manual, just go with a 100kw one from gregories or whoever else makes them. The motors are identical for a large amount of stuff and if you do notice any discrepencies just do a quick google on the net and here and if you still have any questions just throw a post or thread up.

Theres many 4age tech heads round here that will be able to help you out.
