Its the dizzy point gap feeler gauge. I know that's pretty old technology, but come on gang!

I might have a new best friend!

If you choose to go with a sealant, be very very careful to use JUST enough to create the gasket, with NO squeeze out. You cannot afford to plug any oil holes....

Brilliant! didn't catch that. Thanks!

Only one way to find out if they fit. I have a pair ordered.

Nice bind CanTech! Now who would have thought there would be a u-joint store? Surprised there isn't a smallujoints.com....

Steering Ujoints

oh oh... The part description shows both 15x40 AND...

No carbide bits in the house. I believe this is an excuse to go buy some however!


Yes, schrapnel from the hole may be an issue, must drill "just' through.

On the 16mm caps, I tend to...

Today I did a bit more hunting for u-joints that might fit the smaller staked style 15mm size. I'm afraid I have bad news.

I looked at Motor Master's web site, as they seem to be a huge supplier...

The pass side guard isthere specifically to shield the gas tank fill tube not as a generic splash guard. I'll admit this is a guess, but it makes sense from a safety perspective I think.

This is an excerpt from the SKF "Vintage Bearings and Seals" catalogue that includes only the Nissan pages.

It lists every bearing and seal part numbers on every Nissan made up to 1995....

Its best to remove the engine and remove all external equipment. Place the engine on an engine stand where you have nice and consistent foot and arm placement to ensure perfectly even torquing on all...

Try cleaning then oiling the door side mechanism on the outside that touches the striker, so that it flips from position 1 to 2 more easily. You may also have to re-align the position of the striker...

I've had two local people with this same leak. Both were fixed by re-torquing the head bolts. If you do need to change the head gasket, then you have nothing to lose by giving this a try.

Now just...

To add to my post about fitment of the ATV700 u-joint. There are at least two quite different styles of steering shaft u-joints. The kind with retaining "C" clips an those that are staked in place. ...

I remember a very old thread about some character near Boise that had a rather large stash of Z's and parts, but never did pin him or the exact location down. I think 'mystery solved" is appropriate....

I have some spares. Drop me a line to z240@shaw.ca and we'll take it from there.

To add the overall usefulness of this thread, I can report on the installation and fitment of the Kawasaki/Motor Master ATV700 u-joints.

I am happy to report they are a PERFECT fit compared to...

Nothing wrong with duct tape version of bushings, as long as they are temporarily put into use and checked at each stop light. Really wish you would have gotten pictures.

Very funny. Driving with socks in the snow is a treat indeed.... Stupid snow, broke thousands of trees in town, real mess.

Just wanted to clarify. The splines with possible play I'm talking about are inside the steering column between the steering wheel and the firewall. Tough to check, just a last resort to get that...

Rad shops often do gas tank work as well. If the holes are isolated to one area, they'd likely weld a patch over the entire area. If you have holes over a larger area, time for a new (to you) tank. ...

I almost hate to bring up another source of steering play but here goes.

The column itself has a splined connection internally that allows for the column crush action in a crash. There can be...

Dang it. There is a good chance you can find a bearing from a generic source. Take it with you to a big drivetrain or bearing shop. Measure it and check on line to see if find one. Read the fine...

See, never trust an on-line data base. Call and ask.

Now the nail biter is, will one actually make it to your doorstep...

Wow, another "I ain't not never seed nuttin' like that b'for" moment. I'd swear those were factory looking spot welds holding them brackets. No average anybody would use welds like that to add...
