Diagnosing Valve Train Noise
Take a 2 foot piece of 1/2 inch hose and hold it to your ear bone. The other end gets touched to places in the motor. Works really well.

Sway bars
I need some clues on torque setting for 240Z front anti-sway bar reinstall. I had to have re-enforcing done on the right side sub frame due to cracking. Can some one point me to a resource ? ZDisease

What do you use to tow or trailer your Z with?
I could use some advice on how to adjust the brake controller. I tow a 20 foot steel trailer with a wood deck + the 240Z or Ford Fusion on it. The truck is a Dodge 2500 8 litre.

Bleeding rear brakes
You might want to disconnect the rear brake hydraulic line at the brass splitter. Determine if a good stream of fluid bleeds. If yes..... Remove the other two Lines... Remove the splitter.. I soaked mine in gas+oil over night. The next day I blew air through the splitter.

6H bleeding brakes and still no luck
Sort of on topic 1972 240Z - Rear Brakes bleed very slow Stock drum brakes. I bled the brakes yesterday due to air in the system (Car has been sitting for 6 years) The rear brake bleed very slowly, brake pedal sinks to the floor slow as well. Post bleeding the brake the pedal feel good. Is this normal or am I experiencing a proportioning valve issue ?
