The body shop is now insisting on putting the new windshield in the 1971 240Z (FairladyZ actually,) without using any silicone or other sealer. He says they use a linseed based oil that accomplishes the same thing. Is this correct and that it won't leak with the stuff he want's to use? Thanks!

I rebuilt a F54 Block and N42 Head for my 78 280z. I just had it running for the first time in about three years the other day. It was not running well though. It ran good enough to drive, but didnt seem very peppy as though the timing was off or it was running on a select few cylinders... But still able to go down the road. I tried to make it run the way it should, so I re-set the valve timing. I put everything back together and still no luck. It now seemed as though the head gasket was at fault with the way the motor turned more freely. I replaced the head gasket and torqued to proper specs... Still no progress. So now I decide to take the valve timing apart again and…

I tried to change my first thread, but was unable to do so. Therefore a new thread. When my lights are on in my 72z, whether car is running or not, and I turn on the turn signals all my lights flicker with ever flash of the turn signals. I've replaced the voltage regulator,o/e, put an extra ground wire on the altenator and cleaned up other ground wires. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Bill.

Don't know if any of you have experienced this, but I have a head that refuses to part company with the block. I have tried pushing up from the bottom side on the drivers side where the head extends past the block with a 2x2 and a hydraulic jack. I have jacked until the front tire was off the ground. I have tried from the top side with a 4x4 resting on the shock towers with a 2T hydraulic jack on top of it with a chain connected to the two engine lift brackets and have raised it until the cam was at the bottom of the 4x4. It will not come loose. Arne has suggested trying a cherry picker to lift the engine by the head and drop it then suddenly closing the valve on th…

I am really close to buying some rims. Rota RB 16X8. the offset is +04. Will these clear my 75 280Z with tokiko springs and shocks? Will I need wheel spacers? Also, if I do ZG flares fender flares will I need wheel spacer to fit the rims? I am not sure if I want to do ZG flares but everytime I see it, it keeps looking better and better. I have searched everywhere but can't seem to find any help. Someone please help me. thanks

I'm in the process of swapping out my old brake lines with a stainless steel line kit. Not the flexible lines, but the hard lines. Where do I get the rubber insulators that isolate the lines from the chassis?

Valve Problem 1 2

Hi, I have the cam timing set properly on my 71 240z, but I have run into what I see as an unusual problem. The head has recently been machined. After doing a cold adjust on the valves, the cam would not turn through a full rotation. After alot of investigation, it was found that the cam was trying to compress a couple of the valve springs further than they wanted to go. Has anyone here had a problem like this. What is the easiest fix? Thanks
