Spark Plug, Compression, Gearing, and Power Feedback
madkaw replied to Hardway's topic in Engine & Drivetrain
I would think your compression readings would be a bit higher for that combo. 2.9 block and small chamber head . Those look like stock L28 numbers . -
Spark Plug, Compression, Gearing, and Power Feedback

Got to have timing involved in this conversation- period -
I also agree not to sweat the red engine - kind of goes with the scheme . TB type?
-
Not being rusted out - I would consider repair . I am assuming that there is no previous repair and there isn’t rust under there. Like said , cut bottoms out and work metal and recap . Take your time and you might not catch anything on fire!

Who makes that intake ? Thought it looked good with the 42 intake on there. Stock engine management?
-
I have a valve just like that
-
I did not notice a disparity between my cylinders because of my non tapered box. I think the capacity was enough not to choke air volume to any cylinder .

I will speak on rack boots. All the aftermarket I’ve used did not fit as well as stock Nissan boots. Also lower grade of material. Yes they are 5 times the price , but a bad fit will tear faster.

Wow- that’s terrible - could that even be trimmed up or was it meant to have extra material to be trimmed ?

1972 240Z Sells for $37K at Barrett-Jackson Auction
madkaw replied to lonetreesteve's topic in Open Discussions
I think the 37k sell was a bit of a fluke. I think it was the perfect storm of 2 bidders that wanted the car badly. Not saying it wasn’t a clean car, but cloth seat covers :0 -

There’s only one option- the Nissan CAI

Anything that cuts- torch , plasma cutter , partner saw would be the fastest

Guy powder coats with it .

Yes- makes for a nice heavy stand . Yes - I’ve had one semi successful run and it works pretty well. Need to dial in my technique.

Cut off wheel(ssss) straightening a n47 head in a kiln

Alas - the engine block sacrificed for a worthy cause

I am also very lucky - in many ways- but also the fact that I was able to build myself a Z studio behind my house for my playing time .
-
That’s just not right Chuck - for one man to have all that ?
-
Sorry guys - I can’t work that way- I think I’m a bit anal . When it starts to look a little cluttered or I can’t find something - it’s time to clean and organize
-
Well- not much then. You could sell the rockers if not too bad of shape . Someone might want the stock cam also if it’s in good shape . Springs and stuff aren’t worth much really.
-
Do you know who made the kit and what the camshaft is- that would help . It should fit on any other head if you could use it
