L28 from 82 ZX teardown
That looks familiar. When you get a minute plug up the barbs for the injectors and hook a fuel pump up, check for leaks before you install it. I had to find a better thread sealer as mine leaked a little. Looks damn good!

Timing chain guide
I put new timing components on mine one time and forgot the oil slinger. Oh $^!#! I thought but the "how to modify" says leave them off. Everything seems to be fine after all these years so thankfully I didn't have to do a heart transplant after putting the new stents in.

I bought a $250 Bosch OE fuel pump before ever putting a gauge on the existing one. This forum, couldn't live without it.

My guy asked about the rings I'd be using. Different honing for steel versus chrome faced. May be just him but I'd ask if I were you or research it out yourself.

That's what I use but with screws. A hook or some kind of claw would work on Ferg's if he could do the "slide hammer time".

L28 from 82 ZX teardown
I ruined an f54 trying to get that rear plug out. Drilled a small hole in it to thread a screw in to pull on with some vise grips. It's so close to #6 I drilled through the soft plug and before I could stop I'd drilled all the way into the bore. Stupid, stupid, stupid or maybe 1beer, 2 beers, 10 beers?

Loud noise coming from rear brakes on my 240z
How far will your emergency brake lever come up? If it stands up to 12 o'clock your shoes are usually worn out. New shoes will go to about 10 o'clock in my experience with these cars. For what that's worth!

They do serve as a high pressure "path of less resistance". I've read on here where someone romped on their Z before the thermostat opened and one blew out. I've seen one that was pushed out of a water filled frozen block on an old pickup of my Dad's. They're the duct tape of the liquid cooled motor. Started out as one thing but ended up useful as others.

1971 240z Refurbish in Denver
You're right about no info online. I got my "how to rebuild" book out this morning and here's what I went by... I rembered them having a metal wire like strip embedded in the rubber I assume for some rigidity to push them down? I had to nip that off to get the cap to sit down flush.

Know kidding! I have a short attention and seat span.

I don't remember my Nissan's having the "nails" but Felpro definitely had them. There's about 3 ridges on one side of the Nissan side seal. Google to be sure but I think those go towards the crank. The flat side faces outward. Please double check though, it's been a few years.

No contact on the tight side? Fubar is right! Good luck.

Intake manifold noise
I adjusted mine back to working proper. Seems like ccw brought the rpms down? But I am most likely 180 off.

I would. Get the rear cap half way down and slide the side seals in. That's the easiest way I know of thanks to @Diseazd Buy Nissans too. I've got the p/n in a file at home I could give you tomorrow. $13 for the rear main but I can't rember the side seal price.

Abandoned, brand new, Vancouver, BC
The white M car has Brian Jessel dealership sticker on the trunk lid. Must be part of their pre-owned program?
