Thanks Gavin , I did not know there are some venders out side of Japan . Even they includes the eight shape gasket ! No need to ask Steve . 

And thank you for sharing pictures of your jewels , you did it your own , having fun and saving a lot of money .

Here is a genuine Mikuni gasket kit just for your reference.

Trust me you don't want to see those... don't worry the joke may be lost in translation. ?

But on a serious note, I have fun doing the work myself and as you say you learn something but also save money. Plus if things don't work properly I only have myself to blame. ha.

Hi Gavin , I still don’t get what they are joking about, let me review it again.

Today I have a question, what country was this red car be exported? 

The red must be #110 , RHD 260Z , And interesting turn signals and , it even got the fuel filler door knob !! 

This crisp and clean exterior make this car looked so beautiful , I wish we could’ve have this car in Japan . No exterior mirror , front grill, bumper over riders are my favorite features .

It could be an AU market car, but we didn't have the turn knob on our fuel filler door. We had a lock.

Also we had 1 mirror on the driver's door. (No passenger mirror).

WOW  Cool find!

Thanks Gavin , it could be AU market car . Does AU market car have a set of “ lowered coil springs “ like Euro cars ?  The car looks slightly lowered at front , the gap between the tire and the fender .Optional item chosen ? 

This morning I took my 240ZG as a commuter to an airport. In a cold rain dawn , but comfortable cabin .

I will have to look in the AU parts manual Kats to see what the part no. is for 260z springs. I am not sure of the spec, but I believe it's similar to European.

You see the single defroster line “ dead “ .

That is just a racing stripe!

I had a quick look in the parts manual for AU market cars and I see European (non European) Automatic and even Air-Conditioner fitted cars had different spring rates. Bit hard to make sense of it all to be honest. I see mention of spring rates, but not height.

Hi , I picked up my spare S20 , I am so happy that now I can see it closely and I can list up what else I need for this engine . I see the head needs some fundamental work such as valve guide replacement, sheet ring replacement. 

And , the biggest problem is , No.  1 and No.5 Spark plug hole is something weired,

someone drilled the sparg plug ,then plug’s 

metal is remaining in the hole’s groove.

This makes me nervous, I have to find an engineer who can remove it and clean the hole . I don’t want a re-coil method if I can avoid.

Other than that , parts are all in good shape , I don’t think I need to put my NOS 

parts into this engine.I will use this original component as much as possible.

I will show you rest of parts when I am home .

I think the same guy who works on your valve seats would be able to repair your spark plug issue.   Are those the exhaust valve seats that look so grunged?  But then, how does one complain about a 4-valve, cross-flow head?  Pretty cool, Kats.
