Hey guys, quick hopefully easy question. Which way does the worm gear go on the crankshaft? Bevel in or out? I'm guessing in, but I didn't take it off, machine shop did and didn't put it back on, nor do they remember. Thank you in advance.

i'm in the garage now so hoping someone knows this off the top of their head: should a leakdown test be performed with all plugs out, or only the the cylinder being tested? we're getting very different readings depending on which way we do the test. thanks, tony

I have been storing my early 260Z transmission since the car was theft recovered in 1982. I am offering this transmission for free with your promise of making a small, tax-deductible donation of your choosing to the National Brain Tumor Society. There are about 86,000 miles on the tranny. Pickup in south Jersey only. Please contact me if you are interested. Fixitman

Anyone know where you can buy a valve spring compressor? The kind where the fingers fit on either side of the lobe and the lever arm pushes down on the retainer. MSA has what I'm looking for, but it's $185.00. Thanks Guy

What needs to be done to head and block for this happen. I have red about notching the block,steel liners,polishing and porting,larger valves. Also the difference between 3 angle and a 5 angle valve job. Is this going to make a difference in performance.

Ok I am aware of the popular L28/L28ET swop, but if I want to keep the orig L26 engine is there any proven ways (not to cost prohibitive) that can noticeably increase performance (say hp & torque up by +20% ?). Only mod I have made so far are early 240z carb's..Are stroker build for L26's available/worthwhile ? Apprecaite your thoughts.

Having trouble when cranking my 260. I turn the key and it'll turn over briefly before abruptly stopping like its locking up. Does the same thing every time. I thought it could be a starter motor problem so I took it off and bench tested it, there was just over 1v volt drop while the motor was spinning which I've been told proves the starters fine? It's a brand new battery. Engine turns over fine by hand. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Dave.

Hi all. I bought an E 31 a few years ago for a project, and frankly forgot I had it. What do they sell for now?
