gundee

That Superchevy page is good reading. I plugged my new L24 proposed.engine build into that S30 Engine Modeller and got a no-go on the squish. I have the over size pistons and the block bored out, but not assembled yet. I will have to put that issue in another thread. Not here

What exactly is "squish" referring to?

Schneider shows 9 different cam grinds for a L6 Z car. What is a stage 3 cam? People throw that term around all the time like it is some magical grind.

Ok I will bite and ask a stupid question. What does the owners manual have anything to do with new plates.

All back together yesterday and could not get the timing set where it needs to be. Looks like I did not get the drive gear quite right. I thought it was good at the time. Must have been really tired. Just by the sound of it cranking I could tell timing was way off.

Wow. Even has a Datsun Comp part number.

2:50 mark is the GT and Imsa race with Datsuns. Historic F1 was race before this one. A favorite of mine. https://www.motortrendondemand.com/detail/replay-day-1-2018-rolex-monterey-motorsport-reunion-weathertech-raceway-laguna-seca/0_lqko3k4a/

I heard it sold for $47500. Poor condition??

This is the orange z in the photo. Best new build I ever saw.

You really should pull the other side too so you can clean up both sides and paint. Rotor backing plates too. You went this far. Why not get things looking good.

Just wondering before buying a strut, have you checked the nut that holds the hub on the spindle is not loose? Unless you have already removed the hub to check bearings.

I have never seen a bent Datsun strut, but there is always a first time. How were you and the previous owner even able to drive it around being like this. I don't get it.

I was told at a car show that there was not anything brake related this guy could not rebuild. Boosters too. I think you would actually have to send yours in to see if he could do a Datsun. I only have my one booster so I cannot be without it for now. http://whitepost.com/brake-sleeving-rebuilding-services/

Nice to see. I guess I may have to keep my 72 for a couple more years I get it ready to sell every year but then holdout for another year.

Yes me too. Even though I have Mikuni's. The only thing I noticed was in all the years I have talked to others about Weber and Mikuni, I have never run into anyone say they were using a air jet over 200. I must have missed something along the way. Otherwise they would not make them I guess.

Weren't these Bendix boosters made in Japan under license from Bendix. Like the SU's Datsun use look to be their version of the British SU. The brake calipers Datsun used look just like Girling calipers used on Triumphs. I had several British cars.

Exactly what I was thinking. You can look at the wheel stud protrusion on each side too. If they are different then a wheel spacer must be involved I would think.

Did we put this one up yet?

I was reading the FSM for mine and noticed they mentioned a spray coating on the head gasket. Never knew that. From FSM: " Spread sealing agent over cylinder block surface. Place the gasket on it and apply sealing agent to the gasket top." I just installed a Felpro head gasket on my L28 and it had a sticky coating on it. I installed it just that way with no coating. I also did the same with the last Felpro I used. Non problems. You just want a very clean block surface and straight head surface.

Installed my Mike Yoes Racing oil spray bar on the new head. All of mine are junk after 40 years. Good insurance. Also installed distributor and re-installed my ground strap from block to head.

Shaved off some weight today. Removed old mount and installed TTT transmission mount.

Got the new rebuilt head installed on my L28 along with front cover. Rebuild Mikuni's go on next. Won't be too long now. Also scored a new L28 crank pulley that was stored 35 years. Now the belt sits flush in groove with other pulleys. 240Z pulley fits but belt groove is smaller. That is what I had been using.

Yes. What does this have to do with mirrors? Mark and Patcon you are not helping things.

Mark, see your post #623

The reported 100 psi across compression test, if correct, would also result in that performance. Just reminding.
