Diseazd, could you maybe check one more thing for me? What's the size of your bushing? I'd like to check if that might be different, mine is 16mm inside and 20mm outside!

btw, the first part of my crank is the same size as the thicker part of the gearbox-shaft, and further in, the thinner part of the crank seems to be the same as the end of the gearbox-shaft, which is exactly the same size as the inner part of the pilot bushing... long sentence, but i hope you understand, ánd give me some advice!

hmm, you have a picture of your crankshaft for me? car is in our storage, which is way too far away for me now.. the thing is, everybody tells me about the bushing that has to go in, but the way it sits right now, it won't ever fit, as the inner diameter of where the bushing should go in is the same as that of the crankshaft!

well, no, I don't.. Problem is, I'm not that familiair with datsuns.. you'd say get the whole engine back out, pull the crankshaft out & get it to a shop? My measurements say it fits correctly, and the bushing I've got, which I've compared with others, also for a 240z, won't ever fit in my crankshaft! it's way, wáy to big!

so you ran into the same issue? (didn't see it anywhere in your post..) clean swap btw!

I'm sorry for kicking this topic, but I have a problem with my swap.. everything from the swap went fine, but I can't get the bushing in the crankshaft. it seems to be that the crankshaft is already the right size to fit the main transmission shaft without a problem. the bushing that I have is about 2-3mm to thick everywhere! could it be that I have another crankshaft? cause the inner diameter is exactly the same as the outer diameter of the transmission shaft, and it fits without any slop!
