well as you can see my intake manifold had been welded up.. and all the egr stuff removed

this tube here connects to my Break Booster ....

and here is the line from my break booster, on my finger ...

And here is my Breather tube ..

So i ran my first engine with nothing on the crank tube for 40,000 Miles... it just vented downward on the exhaust maniold..

What should I put on the breather tube ? and what set up will work ..because i dont want it just venting like it was

My engine is all together and bolted in.. I am running a webber 32/36 on a L20 intake.. No Pvc valve and side intake stuff thats normal on these engines with a Hitachi...

Where do i run the engine breather crank tube. ?

And How do i run a PVC valve on it ?

and what should it look Like when done .. Pics Please ...

my engine has a shorty exhaust header on it from Top end performance... http://www.racetep.com/nissan.html

if it was a fuel pump issue it wouldnt run at all,... or run rough and then die when you gave it gas,Or not run at all

id never recommend a hot engine..Yes it could ignite , that would be bad :D

i run the stock fuel pump on my L20... i also run a 510 intake manifold on my webber , and got rid of all that vacuume stuff that is on the stock L20 trucks , egr , and the one that runs down the the exhaust manifild , except the vaccume line that goes from the distributor to the side of the carb... also to check for intake leaks take a can of starting fluid and spray it on a " COLD " engine where the intake goes on the head, if you have a intake leak the engine will gain RPM.. I have a 32 36 webber on my L20..

also check the back of the carb where your throttle cable goes in , the is an idle adjustment there, you may need to adjust that screw to it raised your idle up... your automatic choke might be warming all the way , and that causes the engine to die , so try adjusting the cam on the throttle cable, you can also cover the carb with your hand , when the chock is fully open.. just My 2 cents

ok i will keep the the flywheel the way it is and not lighten it any.... thanks for the help .. i do appreciate it

i have my engine pulled out of my truck and now have to buy a new clutch, and update the flywheel .... 1st question.. the flywheel i have in it now is a 240 z or a 260 z flywheel, i cant remember , but its lighter than the stock L20, should I leave it ? or have it lightened ? If i lighten it .. what is the best weight for my Mild over bored block..? Or should I leave it the way it is...

2nd question... what is the best clutch for a L20 New.. and where is a good place to get one online ? thanks

Drool? over a car in a ditch? I think not.

Do you own a 610 ?... Not many people do.. Ive owned this car since 1985.. From a datsun perspective, its a big deal..not many people can say they own a 610 ... And I can

actually there where 111 people on this board when you joined.

 

Just sayin...

Seeing how the original treads arent here, due to the new look and being updated.. I would beg to differ, just sayin..

that's the dave I remember.. 610 is not in the ditch.. with all the rain we've had its decided to sink into the ground... I'm on 20 wet acers in lake stevens

sure

The 610 runs and drives... It doesnt sit .. Thanks for the input I will just fix the truck and shoot it with a fresh coat of paint after I do the rust repair on the bed... Seem to be a waste not put my rebello engine back together..

if a tree smashes a truck someone could think it strait what strait to you is not the same to me that is why we ask for pics sorry h2theizzo im in a bad mood since free dan is gone

i will post pics... even my 610 so you all can drool

this is what im saying

your no help at all

my 24 post , have been on this board Long before alot of you peeps ... Ive owned datsuns since 1987 .. I know bigdave very well , as bleach, Mike Masson..etc..etc.. You wise cracks , and post Highjacks arnt amusing ... This board has grown and changed over the years , It used to be only Local washington people.. and there were maybe 20 people on this Board when i joined ... so get off of it .. As for market value , it doesnt take rocket science to look at a L20 block and say a core is worth 200.00 , or a dog legged 5 speed can go for 100 or 75.00... I put 800.00 into one of my L20 heads from top end performance down in cali , I also have had work done by auto sport in seattle on both Blocks ... the point is Ive been out of the datsun Loop for over 10 years .. and on this Board , I know datsuns , and I know every detail of my 620 truck and my 76 610 sedan... I figured there were People here still buying and selling parts , and i could get some help...

Why would you need pictures..? We all know what an L20 b engine looks like... We all know what a kingcab truck looks like.. I guess I will seek other avenues.

Going rate for l20 block

Going rate for rebuilt A86 head.

Rate for average trucks ..

well it doesnt have 2 engines in it .... i have 2 running motors for it , so whats the going rate , for a rolling truck chasis with no engine ? Or whats it worth 1,500 to 1,000..as is ? just wanted to get a fair value if i decide to sell it on craigs list

mods if this is in the wrong place feel free to move it,as i couldnt see where to ask this question?

I have a truck thats been dead for 4 years , its been sitting due to lack of motivation to fix it.. i have alot of money into the trucks 2 L20 engines, and the heads.. the truck is great all the way around , except for really bad bed rust on the bed and seams.. here is my question , whats it worth current market ?

76 truck.. great enterior , custom exhaust all the way back to a dynaflow muffler , performance shorty header from california, blocks are milled 20 over, the heads have mild cams , with racing valves and springs, the ports have been matched and grinded in the bowl valve area... any help would be great , just not sure if i wanna fix my baby and just sell her to a ratsun person.. thanks

How are you going to fit those on the thread bolt pattern ??

I cant find a local shop to do the work... other than Auto Sport in Seattle.. Most machine shops dont know How..? I am serious about that one

I have a 4 door sedan...1975.. This is my second 610. My first 610 was a 76 4 door. I bought the 75 3 years ago from a guy in Ellensburg Wa for $400.00. I am currently waiting to fix it up.. It runs a drives great when I drive it, but I only drive maybe 2x a year

I want to either shave my flywheel down... Or get an aluminum Flywheel from Fidanza.. So I am in Lake stevens and want to know who in the area can shave down a stock flywheel...? Or where is the best place to purchase a aluminum flywheel. ?

Sorry the flywheel is not for sale... But for a hundred bucks auto sport will Machine a stock flywheel a stocker down to about 14lbs.... I have had them do that for me.. :), As for the engine Pull next weekend looks good for me, I will give you a call Steve

yes I still have the motor and the flywheel..... its tore down right now cause I threw a bearing on the crank racing a HonDAH.... and I smoked his ass..., but I banged up my engine in the process... Why do you ask ..?
