Hey gang,

I will be working on a friend's 1981 280zx over the weekend but after looking at a few FSMs for 208zxs (on nicoclub & xenonzcar) they don't seem to have the ET Engine Tuneup chapter that comes in my 1978 FSM.  I know they're both L28 engines but are the tolerances, valve lash values, etc identical?

Is there a different manual specifically that has the tuneup specs for the ZX cars or should I use the 1978 manual's ET chapter?

Might be in the Turbo Supplement.  Some of the turbo engines had hydraulic lash adjustment.  No lash setting necessary.

unfortunately it looks like there wasn't a tuneup chapter in the manual at all for an ZX year according to the table of contents.  how are people going through a tuneup on these cars?

They changed the name to Maintenance.
