240Znomad Posted May 30, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2019 View Advert Wanted - Cam Oil Spray Bar The cam oil spray baron my '71 240Z is in rough shape. I am interested in buying a used one if anyone has a spare for sale. I have read the the later spray bars off of some of the 280Z's may be a better design and I am interested in this later style as well if anyone has one for sale. Thanks, Craig.

Mark Maras Posted May 31, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 31, 2019 Have you tried to clean it? I had success soaking mine in lacquer thinner and plowing it out with compressed air. It took three cycles of solvent and air to get it clean but the key to getting it to spray properly was cleaning the spray holes with a torch tip cleaner. The old spray bars work quite well if they're clean. Frequently the soldered joints fail but that's an easy fix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted May 31, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 31, 2019 I filled a section of PVC pipe with lacquer thinner and soaked mine in it for a few days. Worked out very well. I bet I got that idea from Mark Maras... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8ferg Posted May 31, 2019 Share #4 Posted May 31, 2019 I did the same thing. Capped a PVC pipe and filled her up with thinner. Got the idea from someone on this forum. Worked well for me too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Maras Posted May 31, 2019 Share #6 Posted May 31, 2019 Sorry, no pics. It was long ago. Admittedly, the solder repair wasn't pretty, but it sealed and was hidden from prying eyes. If I had to do it again, I'd research epoxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gundee Posted June 1, 2019 Share #8 Posted June 1, 2019 I do have a straight one, not warped like some. Flushed it with brake clean and holes flow well. The only thing is I can feel a slight twist movement in the bar so I would solder or epoxy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
