    Im trying to see how many kms I can get out of mine. Doesnt show any signs of dying at 315,000kms.

    But yeh.. 4ac is still a fun engine.. lack of power, but fun and reliable. If it weren;t I would have got 4age by now

    ahhhhh so its valve bouncing... I found out that when the oil lights on it needs oil and its not a warning for it getting on the low side it has had it on for liek the past few weeks

    im thinking turbo.. dose seem like there is much weaknesses in the old 4ac, appart for oil leaks, piston rings (lack of after high KMs) and valve bouncing
