To answer some of your questions, I am getting some machine work done right now at stewart racing engines on gasoline alley. I don't know what kind of mechanical work that you need done, but I have some good experience with some shops around town. I'm not far enough along for paint but I am talking to a body shop on the west side. I have a 1971 that I parted out so give me a call if your looking for any parts. Good luck in Indianapolis its a cool city!!

Welcome, I'm from avon just west of indy. I've restored one 240 and working on another. I'll help you anyway I can . steve.

I asked for advice from everyone on exploding pulleys so I thought I would follow up with some info. Company known as damperdoc in california will rebuild your damper in 2 days for 90 bucks. A guaranteed used one from a salvage was 70 bucks with the same 35 year old rubber. The guy at damperdoc seems pretty confident of his process and the strength of the rubber. He does engines with a lot more torque then ours and no worrys. He said rpms were not a issue. I'm sending mine off shortly , let you know

Is there a late model shoulder harness seat belt system that will bolt into my 240 z. I'd like to find a retractable type.

thanks for all the advice, I'm in search for a good pulley I guess....

I guess the only remedy is to replace. This may sound stupid but could you weld it into one piece or would the lack of flex be to hard on the crank key.

Has anyone heard or experienced a crank pulley coming apart? The rubber between the damper and pulleys is deteriorated but it is hard for me to believe it would come apart. Actually, before this was pointed out to me, I didn't really realize these were two different parts bonded together. Maybe I'm paranoid but I need some feedback on this. I would buy a new euro pulley from msa but I want to try and keep ac.

That is Murphys law hard at work. If these wires were already assembled I guess I would go back to checking connections and tightness of the plugs and their tips. Good luck!!

My machinist is charging me 225$ to do all the above. I don't how many revs it gains you but if your not sure of what you have as far as amatched set I would consider it.

Any advice on best price and availability on new pistons for my 240 motor. My machinist was ordering from federal mogal but I guess it went back order.

I think I would try replacing the spark plug wires if you haven't already.Some how the shielding my be screwing with your spark. Are these custom made wires?

I'm rebuilding a 240 motor and need some help. I took my machinist my crank pulley and he said it looked scary. the embedded rubber was in pretty bad shape and he was concerned about its stability. I want him to balance everything but he thought I should try and find another pulley. I'm up for ideas. This is my first thread so I hope I'm doing this right.
