That's the thread we're talking about on hbz ;)

Here are the changes we've made to quiet things down.
The rockers were not sitting straight on top of the lash pads. This solution could work...

Perfect! I'll keep in touch with him then.

I feel for you.
You've got all the cold we did not get in Europe this year. Not even one snow flake to be seen this year. I had to grind ice from my windshield maybe 3 times this year only in the...

Hi Andreas, I'll check it out with David or Sean (not sure who's your contact afterall). Thanks for your effort! It seems to be great work.

I'm in contact with the person in France, we're all part of the same club ;)
I'll keep an eye on your progress. Keep up the good work!

Looks great!
If you're going to sell some, you can put me on the list!

I've never disassembled the tacho. Do you believe there's a way to change the odometer also to fit kph instead of mph? have...

I'm running distributorless system so I'm out of the picture here but I'm able to control engine load advance with TPS.
At very low load state at steady speed (=max vacuum), my engine is happy with...

I've got a Mallory pump 4070LP, it is quiet (you can barely hear it at idle) but I've never been able to get more than 2psi out of it for some reason no matter what I was doing to get higher...

Are the throttle plate closed completely when you're at idle? Is the linkage ok and free to move within their entire range?

Timing at idle seems very low to me. I'm running 20° with 9.5:1 CR,...

Welcome here!
I used to live in Troy/Birmingham MI. It took me 4 years to find a good condidate locally. At the end, it was all worth it but you might want to look also elsewere for a proper car.
...

If the fitting is good, I could also be interested.
Being part of French forum, where more and more Z are imported from the Z, I could foresee some interest.

The 1750 would be also on my list. I'm trying to find a different solution than yours: get some space and get te Z AND the Alfa :)
Dreaming is not forbidden, it gives me a goal for the future.

Look for REDDAT on the forums (here, hybridz, zcar, etc.) and on the web and you'll see what people think about him.
...

Welcome and definitely spend some good time reading & learning about Z's.
There's tons of knowledge here so you can take a wise decision and get a good car to start with. As an old car, it will...

Your best tool for this job would be to get the following manual. Everything is detailed inside.
It is not difficult but you have to take your time, get the right tools and don't forget anything.

My alternator/fan belt was undersized vs. my pulleys.
My engine was not stock, as a result, crank pulley needed a 10mm wide belt while alternator & fan needed 13mm. 10mm belt fit but it hit the...

Some bushings are more critical than others regarding ride and confort.

For steering feel, T/C rod busings, steering coupler and rack bushings are the most important.
Other bushings are mainly...

I would be interested as well if we could find one :)
I think your best bet would be to find a speedometer in km/h in Europe.

One alternative that would be cool is to just replace the "front...

I've shipped my Z from Baltimore to France when I moved back to Europe.
Stereo, cover filter, Original Datsun key ring were gone on my Z, luckily, it was the only issue found. Nothing too dramatic....

I'm glad to read that :)
With 0 load or very little (like feathering the throttle pedal), you should have no knock. Most likely some noise has triggered the sensor: valves, exhaust leak, etc.

A...

Head bolt torque is never related to gasket. It is always related to bolt specs.
I would get new head bolts, either from Nissan or from ARP. It's a cheap insurance for the future. ARP set is around...

My P79 head complete with head cover was recorded at 70 lbs.

You can do it on your own but make sure you protect very well the fender in case you have an issue during transfer. If you can have...

It looks already great, even with the "not so ok" pictures. Good job. I need to tackle such job as well. I know how now, thanks! :)

So you've got what's needed to make your engine run properly :)
Getting low timing would not help, especially if you're breaking in the engine. Give it what it needs. Regarding knock, it happens...

Your timing seems not appropriate to me.
I'm running a much more conservative setup with CR at 9.5:1, quite aggressive cam from Rebello for the street with some overlap (don't have numbers, Rebello...
