Perfect, thanx! -
Are there any good articles about inspecting and adjusting the valvetrain on an L24? I would like to pop the valve cover and do some inspecting to see how it all looks but was hoping for some guidelines. Also, if I do end up doing any valvetrain adjustment, what tools should I have on hand? I have most of the basic tools already, but fre specialty tools. Thanx! Justin 73 240Z

I've got some play in the whole fan setup and it's causing some vibration at the front of the motor. I have a few things to check, but I was thinking about replacing the water pump pullery and getting rid of the whole fan setup. Free up the motor a little bit...

I have a stock 73 240Z in terms of the electrical system. No added parts to draw extra power. Is there a standard amount of draw I can safely add to the car without affecting other systems? I mean, if I add a 20 amp draw will it cause significant loss across the rest of the system? I'm specifically thinking about removeing the clutch fan and putting in an 8.5 amp draw electric fan. I just want to make sure I won't run into any problems. I'm also thinking about better stereo, etc so I'm trying to make sure I'm OK with what I have. Thanx for any info!!! Justin

I'm assuming the clatter I hear inside the valve cover of my 73Z is attributable to: 1) soggy springs causing poor contact between the rocker arm and the camshaft, and/or 2) wear and tear on the cam and rocker arms causing improper clearances which leads to slapping. I know MSA has an entire kit for about $470 to replace the valvetrain with performance parts, but if I just want to leave my engine stock, what's the most likely/affordable way to clean up the clatter in the engine? Thanx! Justin 73 240Z

Good evening everyone, I was just wondering if I should replace the steering rack bushings with the weight of the car on the wheels or if I should jack the front up and do the work with the weight off the suspension. Any thoughts appreciated! Justin 73 240Z
