Dat Lurka

Looking for Weber carb with adapter for L20. Have 40$ and random 620 parts for trade.

Well the guide looks broke as shit. And it looks the chain rubbed off a corner of the dowel.

HEY I like that bell housing

It's kind of like the L engine. They took the bullet proof Ford I6 and made a I4 from it. I like me some Fords. But like all domestics, I like them pre 75'

Nice first year!

I'm gonna hit them with the shop vac when it's time. They're already full of gunk. I took the thin cardboard sheet from the new headgasket and covered them up. First thing I did when I pulled the head was take an oak leaf out of an oil channel. :rofl: Yeah can't beat the price. He charges 50$ a head to clean and shave them, 100$ to do it all. You can call any place around here and they all recommend him. I first found him through my buddy that races dirt track. He brings his pinto engine there. He spent about 3k last time though. It was pretty much a stock 2.3 when I met him. Now it's a 2.5? It's running 13:1 and spins 10k rpm. It's in a foxbody and it's fast as shit!

Nice batmobile! Let us know when you're ready to get rid of the maxima.

If I took pics of the rest of the shop they'd baker act me

I get jobs and then I quit them. I just need a truck and some tools and I'm all good.

I've done it one. I can do it again. One link is definitely a bright link. And I can count! It will all work out in the end. Kind glad I pulled the timing cover. A lot of my bolts needed to be retorqued. I'll be on the road by the weekend. At which point I'm gonna go visit metalmonkey to bring him his wiper arm nut back :D and steal his wheels

I just got back from the shop. I pulled the timing cover off and collected the tensioner parts. The marks on the chain are gone so I'm not sure where to start but I saw a thread about counting the links or some shit. I can't find a mark on the crank sprocket but I thought it was stamped. I have the original one and I know it's stamped. I'm not fooling with it till I get the head back. I guess I'll put #1 and the cam at TDC and bolt the head on. Then figure out the timing chain. Never done this before. Shit happens and I learn from my mistakes. Not putting a piece of wood between the chain is costing me another 2 hours of labor. I believe the HG was blown before the last owner bought it. When I got the truck I found oil on the plugs. I just finished it off. The head does not appear to be warped but If i put an edge across the head between 2&3 you can see the wear. I'm getting the works. Dip, shave, port and polish, valve seats, valves, valve guides, valve guide seals, and he said he would do his best to repair any pitting. All for 100$ As for wear... The pistons seem to sit to one side of the cylinders. When I do the rebuild it may end up a 2.1 or hell I think I can go to 2.4. I'm not the first :fu:

No, I did not :no: I don't think it popped all the way out though. It's just an illusion form the picture angle.

That's cool. If only I could get my roadster back. From the crusher.

And it better not be the fram filter :fu:

What's wrong?

The heads pretty well dipped between 2&3. Should I expect a higher compression ratio? Will swapping for flat-top pistons get me up to 10:1?

So I should be driving a datto right now, but It was having compression issues. Carnage: These two are where the headgasket was missing Heads going to the shop in the morning. I've seen worse.

Stuoopid thread merging. Uhhh... Datsuns are cool.

Wow I really like it! So clean! I wanna drop a vg30tt in it! To bad its 3k miles away!

So what exactly do you call those cam assemblies?
