It could be the water pump or the distributor button too. Get a short piece of garden hose to use a stethoscope and you can get really close with that.

Here's those pictures I mentioned earlier. The 16s on the 240 look too big but I should have gotten a smaller tire. First 2 are the 16s, rest are OE 14s plus 14s on the aluminum slots.

I found this after a quick look a my thread. Me and @madkaw had figured out a repeatable depth procedure as they will bulge if yo put them on too far/deep. Hope it helps. Ask again and I'll try harder but I remember using feeler gauges stacked together to get the same depth/height, whichever way you're looking at it. I used the distance from the head up to the bottom of the seal's bottom side of the metal band. https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50909-72-240z-rebuild/?do=findComment&comment=475701&_rid=23570

Some old dusty books I found in my library... I can't find the different numbers but they're the same. Seems like I have some S numbers and some E numbers? Send them to Delta for resurfacing for sure. Great job at a good price.

I would charge the battery overnight on 2 amp setting. Sounds like what mine does when the battery is low. The old alternators don't do too well on recharging. I have trickle chargers that really help.

I had to slightly dent my bearing cap for the Koning center cap to fit nice and snug too.

I bought these for both sets of Rewinds. They are well made and I'm been very happy with them.

I like the machined shiny lip, goes good with the bumpers and window trim on my car. Msa has all black rewinds that look more race...y?...ie? 0 offset and 4x114.3 like Jim says above. I bought 2 sets from discount tire a few years ago. They were the least expensive I could find then.

Mine are fel pros I'm 99.9% sure. They were easily available at the time from local chain auto parts store. I have some more info from my build thread I can post too, also on my laptop unfortunately. I can get that for you this weekend when I'm off work. Hopefully you're in the planning stage and not in a hurry...

Damn you're good! I never had rubber tires, they were all foam if I remember right.

Late thought edit: To keep from whizzing off all my buddies that run 16s on 240s I could have gotten a smaller side wall tire. I'll include the sizes when I get back. I really like the 15s with Hankook 205/55-15 (I think ) on my 240 though. Shameless show off... Those are 14s on the slots back there on that red one BTW.

I have 16" on my 280 but 15s on my 240. The 16s on the 240 remind me of a favorite toy I had as a kid, Stompers. I've got some good pictures of the 16s on a 240 I had but sold. They're on my laptop though and I only get it out to pay bills. So in the next couple of days I will post some photos and let you see what I saw.

I've gotten lazy over the years after building my 2.4. I did balance the rods and piston cups out of boredom, they were very close from the factory but older 240 aren't as close as the 280s from all I've read. Anyhow the darn thing runs so good and fun to drive-iness I attribute to the 10Lb aluminum flywheel I put in. It's fast enough for my weekend drives around here. One day I'll put the e-31 and cam kit together but no rush. Anyway... Diseazd is talking about this I believe. He gets his from Eiji at Datsun Spirit I think but I bought felpros for a Ford after reading a whole helluva a lot about all this. https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/25807-improved-l6-valve-stem-seals/ My still in the bag, on the shelf with the rest of the goodies waiting for life to get back to boring.

Mine is 50 years old and I beat like it kicked my dog. No problems. Plus one on OE equipment.

It's supporting a battery! That's good.

Google search with some good results... https://www.google.com/search?q=driveshaft+u+joint+replacement+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&sxsrf=ALiCzsb5tUfpGYHzR2Ah4ow4K95XHC4KUw%3A1651256837439&ei=BS5sYtu1GoGOggfI5rrQCw&ved=0ahUKEwibzOmJ87n3AhUBh-AKHUizDroQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=driveshaft+u+joint+replacement+classiczcars.com&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBAgjECdKBAhBGAFKBAhGGABQxB1Yzx1gwSloAXAAeAGAAaICiAGrA5IBBTAuMS4xmAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz

I bought a leather couch in Atlanta and brought it home then had to leave it in my garage until I built an 2nd floor deck. Long story. Anyhow for the drive back home from Atlanta I wrapped it with shrink wrap I bought at Home Depot. Worked great and cost maybe $20 or so? Maybe you and a helper could do your Z from front to back so it wouldn't blow off. Just a thought but it might work?

Lots of good info on here. That P79 head mod Diseazd mentions is on there too. Click on the drop down MENU. https://datsunzgarage.us/

If you don't have a pressure washer take it to a spray car wash, one with hot water. You knew that I know but that's just me being me.

I learned that pulling my race boat to Kentucky one weekend. Dulled the gel coat along the lines. Not too much trouble, just had to get it buffed out. $200? and it was good again.

Cheap foam oven cleaner from Walmart and a high pressure blast cleaned mine up really good. I left it aluminum though.

No emoji for loss of a loved one. Keep up the love for Project Georgia.

Ran up the odometer a little today, the weather here is perfect, but not before doing something really stupid. I was in a rush to change the oil this morning and forgot it was in neutral. Went to jack the center flat on the crossmember. Got it pretty high and CU-THUNK. The cup on the jack came off and up between the pan and the torsion bar. Put a little dent in the front of the pan but didn't puncture it so all is well except I'm pissed at myself. "Could've been worse" is my go to now.

That is odd. My Nissan 180F thermostat opens and circulates at 175. 176 sitting in my garage only flowing an OE zx fan and shroud. No road driving flow.

He's got a Z divining rod. I used to have one too, in my pants. Too much trouble now...
