Hi there! Well i've been hard at work on my engine. I want to rebuild the head. I need to clean it up right now, and i was just wondering if i could bead blast this sucker. Also, does any one have tips on how to remove head gaskets from the cylinderhead?

I wanted to bore my l24 because I have access to a boring machine. I can have my block bored for FREEE! That was my motivation for wanting to bore it out. But, as a great man once said, "if any thing is worth doing, it's worth doing right." So i'm just going to hold of until i get a hold of an f54 block. Thanks for your replies, -isaac

Is this possible? I did some calculating, and figured that i'dd need to bore it .1051 to get it there. This wont disrupt the heating properties of the engine. Will it over heat like a mad man, or will it work fine? To bore, or not to bore? That is the question.

HI ther ya'll! What's the word? I just got another engine for my car. I was thinking of rebuilding it. It's an l24. I was thinking about putting in an l26 rotating assembly with an e31 head. Is this possible? Will the valves on the e31 hit the pistons? Has anyone ever tried this? I wonder what the compression ratio will be. I would figure try to figure it out, but i can't find the cc's of each head. Any ways, let me know what ya'll think.

Hi! I'm removing my cylinder head, but that darn thing won't come off. I got all the cylinder head bolts off, and even the two little ones at the front. I think the head gasket is acting as a bonding agent, and is holding the head to the block. Is there any tips for getting that damn head off? I was thinking of using a cherry picker. Is this a good idea, or will it warp the head if too much force is applied? Thanks, -Isaac

Hi there! How goes it? Good I hope. Just a few quick questions. How much are you asking for the valve cover? Where did you get it done? thanks -isaac

I nominate peanut butter as the most adicting substance on the face of this earth. I am isaac, and i'm addicted. I know I need help. Is there anyone else out there who shares my affliction for the creamy concoction called peanut..... butter. It's like nothing else, completly unorthoodox taste, with a texture to match. Incredible.

try putting a zx distributor on it and a new 50,000 volt coil. Not an expensive upgrade if you have a salvage yard around you. Get the e12-80 type. It's very easy to install, and works great.

I walked in to my garage yesterday, about to go to work, and there was a little shitzu staring up at me with it's tale waggin like it knew I was going to give it something. This is not my dog. I don't own any dogs. This is not the first time this has happened either. Can anyone tell me why the dogs like me?!! It freaks me out when a random dog is wondering around my yard. I usually don't bother it, I just let it wonder. I've yet to encounter any dog poop, so I don't think they come to do that. I attached a pic of the dog that was in my garage. It wouldn't go home, so i'm going to hold onto it till the pound can do something on tuesday.

Hey ya'll! I just checked my sparkplugs and they are in good shape. I'm still certain it is a spun bearing because it was a loud knocking sound. I have to open it up when i get some time to see if i can reuse some parts (rods) to build a stroker. I'm going to pick up an engine today in anaheim. From what i've been told, it's in running shape and had good compression before removed. It has about 8 hours of racing on it. I"m also going to get another e-31 head that has a cam in it.

Hi there ya'll! I got some news. My engine is broke. It makes a kewl new sound. It's kinda like "clink clink clink clink" in very rapid succession. I kinda like it. NOT! I was on my way to work, when I had a los in power. I pushed the clutch in, and the engine stoped. I turned my radio down, and heard that kewl new sound when i restarted. I immediatly turned it off. Un fortunately, I was forced to drive it off the free way to a place that would be safe to stick my z in the back of a trailer. It's now partially dismantled in my garage. I hope i didn't damage it too bad. I think i spun a bearing, becaue when i was pulled over on the freeway i checked the oil and smoke was coming out of the dip stick tube. I think the cause of the spun bearing is the stupid silicone gasket i used on my zx distributor converson. I know i'm an idiot for using pluming type silicone on my engine. I'm now trying to pull my foot out of my arse.

Well, I founda L24. My conquest has come to an end. I was hoping to get down to anaheim to pick up the motor this weekend. However, I've had to change my plans. It is my little brother's birthday soon, and he needs a bass amp. I've you play an instrument, i'm sure you know how pricey these things can be. So i've decided to hold of on the engine and go for the bass amp. I suppose i could ask my parent for some moolah, but I'm impartail to asking him for money. He already does enough as it is (with adopting me, and giving me a place to live and all). so, I may have to look for a new engine soon if the one i've found sells before I get the requred funds. Later, spunky

Awww mutherfudrucker. I have to work tomorrow night. Guess I'll have to just keep my 350z doodle up on my wall.

That was some very funny schitt. I feel so enlightened now. I think i'll quit school and try to get a job at the zoo giving proctal examinations to angry rhinos.

Hi there! I need to get a motor because mine is not doing so well. There is a valve train knock, and the compression is around 100psi after 4 cranks. The first crank was around 50 psi all the way across. It needs to go! I have some things I'm willing to trade, and i have some funds. I have a used PS2 with a few games, 2 mem cards, 2 controllers, and of coures GT3. I live in San Diego, and am limited to buying an engine from here. I'm only 17 and have to go to school all day:stupid: . My email adderess is spunkysandoval@yahoo.com and my phone # is 619-440-3283. I don't have a preference on what motor it is, l24-28. I just need to rebuild a motor for my car! Thanks in advance, Isaac

I saw this little car in action. I was down at the Q watching the races. This little car pulled up, I thought to my slef that would be sick if it had an sr20. It staged, lights went green, and tires smoked. The turbo was sucking, and the ehxhaust was roaring. At first, people were under the impression that the little yellow roadster had a skyline motor. I knew the sound though. It was an sr20. I remeber that night because I fell in love with the thought of swapping an RB motor in my z.
