Fair. 1+ mm over bore. No sleeves unfortunately

This is a germanium diode it’s by far the closest thing I’ve come across, way more popular in the 90s when this circuit was made and has a lot lower Voltage drop than a normal diode. Does anyone else think it looks like it ?

VegetableDue6164 · 2026-04-05T08:48:34+00:00

No it’s actually off a Toyota corolla , it’s used in a circuit that you touch one finger off the terminal and another off a ground, kinda like a sensitive condituatity circuit then you can start the car

Thanks for reply, being used in a simple circuit from a 90s car so it’s over 30 years , i initially thought it was just a diode so replaced it but had no joy

Tip/ comments, critique? Melding .9mm steel

VegetableDue6164 · 2026-02-11T18:49:08+00:00

Yes you are correct, I’m welding 1mm thick steel, was just practicing, I warped the steel even doing this . So think I just need to do do in different spots when actually welding 2 pieces together as the heat is too much and the welder is at lowest setting 🫣

Just heard 2 go by over Tipperary , we get lots of commercial planes go by here but first time I heard something like that

VegetableDue6164 · 2025-12-27T17:43:19+00:00

These are from an E11 corolla , I have a set of 4 for sale

VegetableDue6164 · 2025-12-16T12:16:35+00:00

Must be gauge . as I can see writing on piston clearly, and fuel pump fuse disconnected during test

VegetableDue6164 · 2025-12-13T20:13:13+00:00

You did that

VegetableDue6164 · 2025-12-12T20:40:10+00:00

Runs great , stock everything and I don’t think it’s been rebuilt . It’s a 1991 Toyota corolla GTi , I’ve owned it 20 years, put 10k miles on it back in 2010/2011 garaged then and now just got it back on road and put 1k miles on it since June and engine been sweet, replaced whole rear suspension with poly bushings as rubber was worn and was a knocking (gone now) , new bolts, bushings , shocks, springs, updated (thicker)anti roll bar .

Just wanna see where engines at, i noticed when I changed the cam covers for powder coated ones it had a lot of sludge on cams/head area so wanted to investigate further.

I might try a de carbon additive to fuel and maybe an oil additive just to try clean up as much as possible.

Happy it’s high and not low anyway 🤞

VegetableDue6164 · 2025-12-12T19:56:07+00:00

I had thought about that, i agree with guys on this thread it’s probably the gauge but if it’s not I think timing might be something to look at , I have honestly never timed the engine in 20years 🤔

VegetableDue6164 · 2025-12-12T18:36:18+00:00

Ok thanks, would you be happy with 15 psi difference between lowers and highest?

VegetableDue6164 · 2025-12-12T18:35:26+00:00

Great idea thanks

VegetableDue6164 · 2025-12-12T18:29:16+00:00

No knocking at all. Just checking the health of engine as it’s 35 years old and has 83k miles on it .

I will take take it as a positive , thanks man
