My painter works at his own pace! LOL I didn't say which August. No problem with the dust caps (stock caps). I don't know why yours wouldn't work....I definitely wouldn't run without them. Thanks for...

Finally, there is fresh paint on the 72. These pictures are before any buffing. Absolutely beautiful job. I'll keep adding pictures as he progresses.

Sorry DJ.....I haven't pulled it apart yet. I had another new engine to drop in, so I haven't checked the bottom mains yet. I certainly will follow up and let everyone know what I find when I do. ...

I've heard, anything over .460 lift requires new springs to prevent stacking. Dave Rebello sells an outter spring that can be used with a stock inner spring that allows up to .500 lift. You can use...

Looks perfect rossiz ........you did good!

Z dreams.......I'd use your early 240Z intake and exhaust manifold (plug the air injection holes). Then.....all you need to do is figure out what goodies you want to add to the head if any. Either...

I agree.....Isky is the way to go.....have them regrind your camshaft to Stage III. The Datsun metals are compatable with other parts in the L series engine. I would suggest that you install new or...

If you put your cap bearings on the block side, you'd have known it within minutes of fire up. That's not the problem. IMO

2 questions.....1) Did you make sure you were on TDC (compression stroke, not exhaust stroke) before installing distributor drive shaft? 2) How did you make sure that the bottom tang of the...

Well put Carl.....something about the shape, the smell or the way they drive and handle. Some nights, I just mix a drink, go to the garage and sit in them. At Cars and Coffee or at open shows, they...

That about says it all HardWay.......well said!

I heard it sold for $40,000.00......from a good source.

His initials wouldn't be RJ would it? Just what you need Jeff.....another frickin' Datsun!!! :love:

Good point Siteunseen.......looks like it should be laying on the front edge of the oil pan, however the spring is probably swimming in the oil pan. :tapemouth

No way in Hell (getting the spring loaded plunger back w/o removing the front cover). IMO. Once you remove the front cover (it ain't that hard), they make an extendable magnet (works like an...

Don't run it another second......pull the front cover and reinstall the tensioner plunger. You should be able to retreive the plunger with a magnet extender.

Thanks for the pics......didn't even know they existed.

Just curious.....would you post a picture of your"clean" exhaust manifold.

Welcome foreign members......glad you love the Z!

I'm with Mark and Leon........go with option 1.

A is 4 cylinder, B is 6 cylinder......they grind solid and hollow cams the same. I've never seen an N47 cam on a spray bar head. Does it have holes drilled in the lobes for internal oiling? It...

Ditto that......

Yes they do have a spray bar.......In fact, you can send the cam from the E31 to be ground if you've got it. Just remember, it must be used with a spray bar.
