Hi Folks, I bought a KE 74 recently (a week before). When i was buying i checked oil dipstick and oil cap there was no issues. But after changing the oil to 15W-40 in the service, it started to spit some oil in dipstick.. Also its struggling to start in the morning. But after starting there are no issues such as engine miss when running, white smoke and no oil or coolent decrease. Also noticed that oil leaks in the plug Is this symptoms of engine under compression? TIA

Hello. Was wondering whether it is possible to put a 4age engine in a ke72 wagon. At first i was planing on buying a ke70 sedan but it is proving to be a challenge to find a good one that's for sale. From what I've read and heard I believe that both the ke72 and the ke70 share somewhat the same structure. So I resorted to pursue a wagon as a project car. Your opinion on this is highly valuable. Thanks. PS: It is also highly appreciated if you could point me at place where I can find a good 4age in SL.

Engine Oil Level Reduces And White Smoke After Overhaul
buddhi posted a question in Mechanical problems
I have done a overhaul to my KE72 engine around 5 months ago through a reputed company. All the engine related work done by Edirisinghe Brothers. After that I have drove only 3500 km up to now. Now I experience, - Oil level reduces - White smoke in high RPM I have informed to the company where the repair has done. As I expected they are complaining about the spares I used (I bough 90% of the parts from MM Organization) they say they might have given me duplicates. Please share your ideas with me. -
Hello good people! We have a 1982 KE-72 wagon which have two main issues. 1) In first and second gears engine gets slowed with A/C on. This happens only with A/C powered on. Without A/C it works perfectly. And only in 1st and 2nd gears this slowness appears. In 3rd and 4th gears engine runs smoothly. This slowness wasn't there before. It was running okay even though it felt under powered with A/C. 2) In 4th gear around 80kmph engine makes a huge noise. That with A/C too. Without A/C doing around 100kmph is okayish but after that again that huge noise comes. I honestly was afraid if this thing will blow up. Is this due to engine degradation? It's got almost 300k in odo. Are there anything can be done to restore it to a better state if it's engine degradation? Or this might be some mechanical problem? What things can be done to solve this may be? Thank you
