    CAMSHAFT WOES

    anybody know anything about installing lash pads??? im gonna have to install some with the cam
  3. so i guess my new name is drill bit, i just noticed, you guys are funny

  4. i have a 77 and put new brakes all the way around, just like you i bled and bled and bled, but also i flushed my lines with fuild and blew them out with air, i didnt know about the valve at first but when i did find it i bled each screw one at a time from the rear to the front. when i bled the front screw i got a big burst of air, second and and third time clean fluid and ALOT more pedal pressure after bleeding the valve, get a friend and give it a shot, it cant hurt
  5. get my block back next week!!! hopefully carbs by the end of the month!!!!

  6. but if you do want one of the plates you saw i have one you can have it for 2 bucks plus shipping!!! lol
  7. dude, you dont need that ugly piece with a bunch of plugs, what you want is something that looks like it didnt come with egr period, something along the lines of this one i have on my truck
  8. valve stem seals/and or piston rings/ and or thicker oil do not use oil treatment onlu thicker oil, oil tretments have seal sweeller in them and they soften seals eventually leading them to a full on failure
  9. 160 to sleeve block and machine it to match other 3 bores, 40 for decking, so 200 dollar fuck up, learning a good lesson is priceless!! oh well live and learn i guess. dropped block off 30 min ago, hopefully they dont fuck it up. cornett racing engines somerset ky
  10. if the rings catch the bump in the cylinder the will break, if the dont catch the bump they will wear it off and presto ive got a big steam engine, im gonna take it to the machine shop tomorrow and see if they can either sleeve it or weld it and re bore it. more money than i wanted to spend but hey what the hell
  11. 30 plus shipping on the dizzy and pedestal if it is a blackbox unit, thanks
  12. mine will not be that low ever, just 3 inch blocks in the rear maybe 4 inch or 3 inch and some drop shackles

      its alright mang! jus be more carefuller when Drilling into your Block!

  14. ok before i begin i want all of you to know that i already know how god damn stupid this was, you dont have to remind me, you dont have to make fun of me and i will already go and call myself a dumb ignorant fuck. now that thats out of the way heres whats up. i tore down my l20b today to get it ready for hot tanking and decking tomorrow i got it almost apart and i went to remove the freeze plug on the front of the block behind the timing chain, i didnt have any trouble on the other freeze plugs but because the #1 cylinder was so close i couldnt get any vice grips on the plug to pull it out, so i decided to use a slide hammer. using the slide hammer required me to use a drill and drill a hole in the plug to get the screw in. well long story short the freeze plug was backed up against the cylinder wall and i didnt feel when i drilled through and began drilling into the cylinder wall, well it didnt look to deep at first and it wasnt all the way through so i contined to take out the crank and the pistons, now upon inspecting the bore you can barely feel where the metal is pushed in towards the inside of the cylinder where i was drilling, it did not go all the way through but i am sure it is very thin there, now i have an l20b that didnt need any boring or cylinder work and just needed cleaned and reassembled. HERE IS MY QUESTION what are my options? here are a few i thought about 1 getting new block 2 welding up hole and remachining number one bore to spec 3 sleeving number one bore 4 sleeving all bores 5 welding up hole and overboring every cylinder 6 sleeving all bores with oversized sleeves 7 weld it up, hone it out a bit to knock the high spot down and say FUCK IT 8 definitely never ever do this again well boys i need the best advice you can give me, im on a budget so i need to keep the machine work to a minimum, i have standard size pistons with new rings so if i could keep the bore standard it would save me money on buying pistons. and once again i know im a retard.

    thanks for the info, no im not looking for crazy numbers just some good ole nostalgic carbs, a sweet sound, and maybe a little rumble, im not expecting more than 115 hp to the wheels, i dont care about the gas just driving a datsun period is worth burning gas even if its alot of it!!!!

    actually i may be interested, i was wanting the stage 2 but i may get it off of you if i run low on funds, gotta get my block checked out first. thank you!
  18. so 1/4 inch spacers all the way around? i would rather not roll my fenders :angry: maybe some longer studs!
  19. holy moly these are too much cam for any kind of daily driver, hell you would have to push your vehicle to get it going!! not really but no shit these are for highly modified big bore racing engines, its extreme top end only.
  20. my question is with the 225 40 18 and the titans do you have to run spacers or anything on the 77 model, i have a 77 and titans too and i need to get them on there!! mine is dropped 3 inches in the rear and maybe 4 inches in the front, will they rub on the front??????
  21. how much for the distributor and the distributor pedestal shipped to 42503?
  22. my mom has some almost identical to those in her 2003 toyota matrix, maybe a newer matrix? or something similar?
