Thanks Guy! Hmmm I trust both you and Brian Little but he gives 46cc here: http://datsunzgarage.us/p79/ and you have verified with two heads so I will default to you and update the tool... however can you please confirm both of your heads were not shaved before you received them? Here is the revised tool: Z Engine Planner S30 Engine Modeller V4.zip

valve adjustment with "racing" cam
It is good they are all the same. I think the test gauge is the problem. If you have the spindle in the normal spot, try starting it up!

After you finish, double check every "mouse trap" spring to ensure it is clipped correctly. Wrenches can bump them off.

valve adjustment with "racing" cam
Each cam lobe has to be close to straight up to measure the lash. Look at the picture below. An easy way to do this is to put the transmission out of gear and short the starter solenoid blade connector with the +12V starter terminal using a big flat screwdriver. (MAKE SURE IT IS NOT IN GEAR AND KEY IS NOT IN IGNITION). Watch the cam rotate and stop when the desired lobe is up. Oil will pump out of the head and eventually fill the head and drain out the rear right side of head so be prepared to wipe it. If you remove the plugs, there will be less battery drain.
- Happy Thanksgiving!

240z cranks but won’t start
btw make sure the two small bolts are in the front of the head. They hold it to the timing cover.

240z cranks but won’t start
It is easy to reset. Just remove the 4 bolts on the oil pump. Be sure to lower the sway bar. It usually blocks the oil pump. Looks like your Sway bar is not installed yet so it will be easy.

Lash on card is Cold lash. This means you can measure and adjust on your engine at room temperature. Stock Cold is: Intake 0.008" Exhaust 0.010" Yours is a bit larger.

Good man!- I hate Chinese "Metal"
My Behr paint can lids are rusting!!! Crap metal. Just saw this too: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-44738952- valve adjustment with "racing" cam
Sometimes the lash spec is different from stock. For now just measure what you have on all 12 cold and note max/min.- So I was looking in the local classified ads...

Yup, your spindle seems to be off. Set crank to 0degrees (TDC). Pull the distributor, then share a photo of the top of the spindle, it should look like this:- So I was looking in the local classified ads...
