If it gets that bad (you have half-destroyed the filter but it still won't budge), remove the oil filter mount from the block and take it to a machine shop. It's only two bolts. Gordon Glasgow Renton
Both John McComb and Mike Downs wound up driving 510's for Pete Brock in the Trans-Am 2.5 series. Don Devendorf went on to found Electromotive, which campaigned the Nissan IMSA GTP cars in the 1980's
I think the distinction is which side of the gate the prisoners are on. ;-) Gordon Glasgow Renton, WA /// /// datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net mailing list ///
I tighten the nuts down until the edges of the seal are just starting to tip out from the side of the cam cover, then back it off a tiny bit. I also put a very thin bead of wheel bearing grease on th
I don't really have any clues as to what's going on here, but, since I was one of the ones that has said positive things about Copper Cote, I might mention that I only put it on the gasket itself, no
I'm currently running 195/60-14 tires on 6" wide rims. I have run 185/70 and 185/60 tires on the same rims. It's probably obvious that I prefer a wider wheel for a given tire size than a lot of other
I FINALLY got my copy today and got a chance to enjoy the article on Calspeed's car (and the shorter mention of Don Miller's V6 E Mod car). I also found a writeup on Phill Brooks' book, "Fair Lady" b
Vent away, Frank! That's a heck of a tale. You're still alive, and a frame can probably be found if the original one is gone. Pretty cool. Gordon Glasgow Renton, WA /// /// datsun-roadsters@autox.tea
That's a good article (page 152) and is worth reading. For a 185-width tire, that rule gives a rim width of 6.19". One point that he makes is worth quoting here, since a lot of people have put wide t
There should be five marks on the pulley. The big one is zero (or TDC) and each of the small ones is another 5 degrees. Gordon Glasgow Renton, WA /// /// datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net mailing list

Yes, an A cam can be reground to B cam specs (or most any other specs) but the base circle of the cam will be smaller than before. This will require doing some close checking of the geometry between
I remember seeing the news article in the car magazines when the 1,000,000th MGB rolled off the assembly line. That was very near the end of its production life. Gordon Glasgow Renton, WA /// /// dat
Your dictionary is correct, Alex. 86.75 mm would be a .030" over piston. I don't know what the cylinder wall thickness is on a 240-Z but I'd check it carefully before going to 88 mm. Check with a qua
