A reminder about baggy clothes and long sleeves when using tools:

TDC is simply putting the piston to the top of its stroke, you can do this many ways (turning at crank, cam, wheels or bumping starter or cleverly applied compressed air). The easiest way (assuming no thick radiator, triple damper pulley, ac components in the way) is to pull the plugs, put in neutral then use a shallow socket and ratchet to turn the crank cw (as viewed from in front of the car). This direction does not loosen the bolt and replicates what the engine does when running. If you sweep past TDC, keep going and try again.

Or maybe even Possum in the family tree. Mr "Cana sutra" thinks you need a new way to do it.

Playing Prince Buster over Christmas! Good luck!

I was working in Hazlet and Matawan for a few years. I'm Juarzeee shu-ar.

Take care to plan the FPR and related plumbing: Stock 240z's have an orifice at the outlet of the fuel rail to help maintain fuel pressure in the rail. This then feeds the return line which is much bigger than the orifice. So the orifice and the pressure release valves in the mechanical fuel pump work as a team. In non-stock set ups, simply dead heading (no return used) is one of many designs used but remember that fuel flow through the rail takes away heat (and tames vapour lock) so there are advantages to high flow designs too.

CO I'll see you sooner than you think. I'll be on the Jersey shore on Sunday for a couple of weeks. I'll ring ya.... I need a lathe lesson.

Can't be worst than going in an S2000? What fool would do that?

Why are the chambers blued?

Once it is cleaned, rub black marker on all rockers then rotate to check wipe patterns.

It must have been an empty kitty litter bag that he used to bag it. I'd not accept it. For the mineral deposits i guess pouring/flushing in vinegar or CLR may help.

I think the video "proofs" this myth.

In Planes, Trains & Automobiles Steve martin asks for a f'n Datsun first when starting his rant at the counter.

I agree. brrrrrrrr. The smell of gas and exhaust in April will get the gang motivated.

Got a lathe Interesting carb mods in the future.

It will be nice to convoy from the north east. We will be driving ~ 1000km/10hrs a day so our first night will be in Boston, Any ZCCNE folks going? Maybe we can Hoover some of the Connecticut club too and plan a route.

Rossiz's l28 had more kick with max advance 36-38 degrees so you are in the region.

I'm happy for you Matt! What emulsion tubes, main jets and air correctors are in those webers? It is a beautiful a/f profile.

I had a friend who wanted to use cheap overseas labour and parts to rebuild blocks into motors. If 8 month turn around is acceptable then the business case works with ocean shipping.
