Is there a fitting for this?
From my experience on my '72 there were some cheaper ones with the fitting angled in a different way. I ended up swapping the short brake lines from one side to the other and with some mild bending of those got them to finally line up. The ones that were like the OEs were like $200 each. The ones that I bent the lines to make them work were $40 maybe? Here's some threads on it. https://www.google.com/search?q=rear+240z+brake+cylinders+classiczcars.com+&client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&source=android-home&source=hp&ei=sXBsY4mXMbCgqtsP3dalqAM&oq=rear+240z+brake+cylinders+classiczcars.com+&gs_lcp=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&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp

[2022] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
I agree 100%! I sent them Japan stamped cam and scratched the date and my initials on one of the ends and was in no hurry. I wanted that cut cam back. I think Isky did my rockers though. They're beautiful too.

[2022] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
From what I remember when I was thinking about building up my e31 was the cut cams used the valves from the 2.8 zx heads. p79, p90, not sure about the n42 or n47. @Diseazd would know for sure. You'll need shorter valve seals too. I've got all the stuff just not the time to do it. Maybe I'll have a long cold winter and turn my kitchen into a machine shop? Found these on ebay 10 or more years ago, a must have from all I've read. Edit secret: you can get the cam kit a helluva lot cheaper straight from Schneider. Sorry msa...

I would tag whoever in that thread and ask them. I've not had to sleeve anything on my cars, low miles.- Maintenance crank seal service
I think the front cover seal causes that wear. Maybe cheap seal or wrong size? Anyhow some people put a sleeve on. I found this, maybe helpful?- Maintenance crank seal service
That's what it does, keeps that worm gear lubricated that the oil pump drive and distributor drive run on.- Maintenance crank seal service
Your top picture. Cup against the motor. It deflects the oil backwards. Thank's @motorman7 for the picture.- Rockauto Magnet
They should've used your's for that toolbox magnet Mr Arnett!- Speedo gear seal replacement
The speedometer hole is the same as the fill plug so it shouldn't leak out. Maybe a drop or two. When you get the seal and o-ring done leave some clean paper under there overnight to make sure it's stopped leaking. Seems like I had to use a deep well 10mm socket to get the seal all the way down.- Signature went away?
I'm sorry! The "ignore thread" is what you're talking about. Duh on my dumb arse. If I hover on your profile pic I get the IGNORE option. Can't remember how it was, I have a short list of ignored users and they've all disappeared from the site thank god.- Signature went away?
You Sir are a genius! AND a funny one too! I see signatures (dead people).- Signature went away?
I'm a little slow with this, I thought it was a smartphone thing but I'm using my laptop this morning and my signature photos are gone from it too. It looks like everyone else's are gone too. Did I miss the discussion?- Slalom Camshaft 475" Lift / 275 Duration New Old Stock!

@corbenB I used the tom monroe's book when I rebuilt mine. He uses a 2x4 and a pry bar under the bolt off the front cover threaded into the center hole on the center and rear caps. It worked pretty easy for, dont recall any difficulties. I've taken some pics of the text. Hopefully I will get them in order. Good luck.
