Duffy's 1/71 Series 1 240z build

[240260280]

FYI: You can shim that spring with washers to increase oil pressure.  2 washers work nice.

Well it runs, but terrible.  I have a massive vac leak, either from my balance bar not sealing or maybe a throttle body wasn't bolted down correctly.  Even with throttle plates in the full closed position it runs happily at 900 rpms. So it's getting a ton of air from somewhere.

Tuning!  It is the best part of the rebuild.... you will find the Gremlins and enjoy exponential improvements.

Pretty tiny, but it fits nicely.

Well the 80s bmw iac is awesome, smaller and nice looking. Let’s no air or minimal amount by when physically closed Now to find out what pin is positive. 

Can you share a part # or specific BMW make/model/year?

Well we finally got a block that passed sonic testing. It took 4 to get one that can handle the 88.5 pistons. N42 for the win! Thanks Andrew Kazanis! It’s going to be a sweet motor.

Engine builder is removing the casting flash and de-burring the block today. Getting ready for Glyptol coating. Pretty neat.

3.2L engine parts arrived from Rebello today! 

JE Pistons, Eagle rods and king race bearings. Rod bearing clearances are spot on. Marine Crank did a fanstatic machining job on my extra long stroke LD crank.

So what is in the Rebello 3.2 kit?

What do you have to provide?

What head will you pair with it?

It requires you have a diesel crank to offset grind and a block that will go to at least 89mm - I believe.

Thats the way mine is anyway . You can pair is with any head with any compression - that’s a matter of preference . I think he can make a 3.0 out of any L28 block and crank . To get the extra .2 required a longer stroke . 
I sent my diesel crankshaft and a N42 block and $$$ and I got back all the ingredients to put one together . Rebello preps  the block and crank - custom pistons and all bearings .

I have the LD crank and N42 block. What’s a ball park figure for Rebello’s parts and labor?
