@gnosez, @Diseazd, engine builders? Two questions related to post #18. Q1: What is a well tested sealant brand and type that you can recommend for sealing the back top corners of timing cover to the head, and for sealing the rear main bearing & side seals. Q2: Any special way/locations for placing the sealant when doing the rear main (engine rebuild)? Thanks

Maybe the new KYB seals' material now break down in oil. As mentioned above, oil helps transfer heat and stop rust.

The internet is dead. Communications used to be private. You picked up a phone and talked to someone at the far end in confidence. Now the govt, military, police, advertisers, retailers, data brokers, scammers, hackers, et al are now analyzing every word you type.

Just keep hitting the "report item" button.

Suddenly the paint is changed to matt too. The guy is a lying, cheating , prick who knowingly ripped people off.

Also, I am not sure if 1/16" inch below the jet nozzle at 2.5 turns down is correct. Here is what one expert measured... 10mm down from bridge. So top of fuel will be at 10 turns down.

1 turn = 1 mm. Also, it is important that the needles are set properly in the piston. The shoulder of the needle should be flush with the bottom of the piston (not with the bottom of the groove). Have a look at this:

Fantastic photos Kats! Detective work is fun. This is a nice one too... I think the plate was picked from their stock of plates on purpose. LHD 240z Promotion Photo (driving in Japan)

Temperature and current also affect shininess according to some documents I have read.

"turn up" and "turn down" work nicely for SU jet height nuts and Weber Idle Enrichment Screws.

Impressive results!

If you are disappointed that you were unable to be ripped-off on Ebay there is still craigslist https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/wto/d/240z-dhubcaps-from-69-70/6520499119.html

Crooks. I doubt these are from Japan too.

@kats, The photo above seems to be at the same facility where the photos below were also taken. The licence plate sequence also tell a story 39-01 & 39-31 above. Below is 39-38 and 39-47.

Kats, Johnnie Gable mentioned that Mr. K's favourite car colour was silver.

Wheels!

Panama is very hot so this car will have challenges most do not have... except maybe Texas, New Mexico, or Nevada in the summer.

Another query with the seller on Ebay yielded the country of manufacture is Japan and more can be ordered.

SU's work fine with the top of the fuel at 23mm down from the inside roof of the fuel bowl. This translates to ~20mm down from the margin where the lid rests on the fuel bowl
