2nd opinion is warranted

I am not sure if it is in fact an automatic. The fields look strange. Front wheel drive V8 automatic??? Buy it and you will make lots of $$ when you sell. Put $10k into it and you will have a $35k car today.

This would be a better investment: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/4910275309.html The value of series ones is only going up. They are just as much fun as a 280z

Scrape away any corrosion with a scribe then squirt a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF at the margin where the broken bolt meets the block. Tap on the remnants of the bolt with a small hammer. (assuming it is above the block surface). Do this for at least a 2 hour period every 15min or so then try to grab onto the bolt remnants with tightly clamped vice-grips and turn.

If the piston rises too fast (thin oil), the fuel droplets fall out of suspension and the constant velocity drops. This makes a lean bog. Bumps in the road can also cause fuel changes. The opposite happens if the oil is too thick: the piston rises slower, the air rushes through faster through a smaller area (not CV) and it pulls more fuel. This makes a rich bog.

Nope, you may wish to prime at the pump to get things flowing. You can suck it up and pinch the hose to the pump... been there. Also pull your plugs when you crank to get the fuel up to the motor w/o wearing out the battery.

A winter thought: Is the thermostat working and keeping the engine hot? A cold engine burns a lot of fuel and runs rich.

Oil only affects transitions when accelerating and decelerating. It will not affect idle.

You are lucky to have a few to choose from! The replacement LED is part 1895. It has to shine down 90 degrees to the socket axis. An LED would run cooler and enable removing the metal heat shields. Fill the socket and connections with dielectric grease.

Mr. Matsuo recommended 20W for temperate climates and 30W for hotter climates. When your 20W runs out, try 30W. btw please PM me or email with pictures of the 311 cam when you can. Thanks!

Guy, Stephen said you have a droopy butt! That is a gauntlet throw if I ever saw one.

fake speed limit signs, relocating signs, and graffiti would make things interesting 100km/hr to 10km/hr 50km/hr to 500km/hr

I am guessing the headlight switch still smokes

I want to hook it up to my shifter and have it change gears when I pluck a string. Just so long as it is in tune with the 10 harmonicas I nailed to my front bumper that wail like banshees when I am on the highway. Willie

Thanks. That sounds fine. So pictures of the plugs side-by-side would be the last item to review.

Someone just has to flow an AFM to see where the door/pot top out and then convert that CFM to BSFC, HP. If it turns out to be less than a Z motor puts out then we can put it to rest. Case closed. I think the same can be done with SU carbs... add more weight or more spring pressure spring so that the pistons rise and top out in the dome at max hp or max torque or some other point. More fuel will be drawn in a non-CV way after they top out (i.e. richer). Nothing new under the sun.

"Spin to win" used to be a cycling moto but 4.38 & 4.88 drivers can borrow it

It looks like the flaw is below the top piston ring. It is also at a the low part of the stroke so it will have no significant impact apart from some extra oil reaching the chamber. Have the shop take a look. I am sure they could TIG it, knock it down then bore/hone through it. Some water in the block may help reduce heat effect from TIG .
