Stock OHC? ...or not
Hey, i noticed that from my head gasket to my valve cover (if i named these parts correctly, appears to be way newer than teh rest of teh engine. I was wondering if its stock? it says "nissan OHC" and the oil cap is in Japanese. It looks liek it was plated at one point..and still kinda is... just wondering if its been altered in some way, and is there a way to be able to tell?

Doors/locking mechanisms
mine do something of the same. my drivers side door, you have to keep the key turned while opening the door handle to get in. To get out you need to hold up the lock and pull the handle to get out. the passenger side sometimes resets to a locked position, and you cant open it even with the key sometimes. Even if its unlocked already. wierd....

Speedo Help?
ok i couldnt look at the tranny part...no lift yet. i did however discover that the knurled knob was undone at the back of the speedo. I reconnected that--still no luck. also noticed that the "trip odometer" cable was just floating in fid-air not doing anything...must figure out where that goes.

turn signal problems
my flashers also do not work on the dash or outside...but they light up when the headlamps are on...but do not flash in turn signal mode or hazard flasher mode. i tried the "under the dash "583" fuse...that didn't solve anything... the fusable links are still in working order...any suggestions?
