bartsscooterservice Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share #337 Posted July 12, 2015 Yup that's so.. Parts will arrive next week, if Lucky I could get the engine back together before the event in Germany. I'd really like to go there with the 240.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartsscooterservice Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share #338 Posted July 14, 2015 Meanwhile getting everything ready to go back on the engine.. Made paint to match original , on a piece of paint that was still there on the bracket of the alternator, had it scanned at a local paint shop and put into cans. It seems the original paint contains blue and green, with more light exposure it looks more blue, but in the dark or garage it goes more towards turqoiuse.. click image upload image sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartsscooterservice Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share #345 Posted July 29, 2015 The E31 cylinder head is warped, and the engine shop is trying to get it back, it needs to go 0.9mm . If not working I have 2 options: let a shop in the US repair the head or search another E31 head... There's no company here to be found that can do it. I found several E88 heads but I'd like to keep the E31... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartsscooterservice Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share #346 Posted July 31, 2015 Okay just called with the engine rebuild shop they said they can save the head but it's going to take a while need to send it to another shop. I searched around and Al from California Datsun has an E31 laying around luckily..., so I will order this one from him, and put the other one when it's repaired on the shelf.
