NorCalDime Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) So im trying to part out my old L20 or even sell as a set. Would prefer local pick up but a sale is a sale in-line fuel pump and pressure regulator that goes with the mikunis. Make offer Nissan Comp Header. Good shape just one ding on the side Make Offer Pair of Mikuni 44phh carbs with manifold and troy ermish style center pull cable linkage. Carbs are in good shape. I dont know how to tune them or make them work right lol. trying to get 450OBO 210 head on it that was worked by troy ermish. Dont know the specifics but it has bigger intake valves and a major port job, HD springs and a custom cam. i think the PO of my car paid like 2500 on this head. The intake valve measures 4.3cm on my trusty ruler. The bad. Lash pad fell off and rocker arm moved and nicked part of the cam lobe, still works fine though. Number 2 cylinder exhaust valve is burnt on one side. Make offer Polished valve cover. In good shape not too many dings or scratches, no cap. make offer L20b bottom end. In good shape. Carbon build up on number 2 cylinder from burnt exhaust valve but everything else looks to be in good shape. Has pertronix coil and dizzy new timing guides. Was told motor had 50k on it since rebuild. Also 280z (i think) 5 speed. Has a roadster clutch in it with about 20k miles on it. Shifts smooth. only somewhat grinds on downshifts. needs fluid in it make offer [ Edited March 5, 2009 by NorCalDime Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 All cylinders had no compression? Then its worth nothing but hard to believe all clylinders.????? maybe cam timming off a link or something. Somebody spent $2500 on a 210 head?a L 16 head? You putting a KA in your car? Thats a nice car you have. You u lived closer I would look at the carbs!!!!!!!!!!$450 is a good price. Link to comment

Well im gonna pull the head off and see if a piston is fried. It started running on 3 cylinders after a spirited freeway drive. I guess i will know for sure when i tear it down. The Ka is in there now, it is a blast! And yeah i was skeptical about the head... But it is one that troy ermish built for him so i dunno lol. It loooks pretty worked over so maybe it is good.

Ultramagnus Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 if you still have those carbs by the end of the month i may bite. i need another spare set. Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Usually if one cylinder fails check 1) ck valve lash on that cylinder. Or lash pad fell out of retainer 2) ck distributor cap 3) ck spark plug .. I found a FREE KA cause a guy said it wasnt running on one cly.He swapd coil packs ect>>> The guy swapped in a SR in his 240sx. Jeff Hino picked up the motor installed in a 510 and it ran fine after changing the spark plugs Oh I forgot I seen cracked exhaust valves also(NO compression) all clyinders NO compression means the guy lined up all the rings with the gap all in the same spot in the block. or all lash was adjusted to Zero Edited March 5, 2009 by banzai510(hainz) Link to comment
NorCalDime Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 well hainz it turned out to be a burnt exhaust valve causing my no comp cylinder. i was hoping it wasnt that lol Link to comment
datto510 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 well hainz it turned out to be a burnt exhaust valve causing my no comp cylinder. i was hoping it wasnt that lol Thats better than a hole in the piston. Link to comment

ariascarlos1990 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 im gonna save up for a set of 40 or 44mm carbs now. :D Link to comment
WagDatto Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 PM me about the fuel pump. What's the flow on it? What brand/condition? What price? Nice meeting you the other day, by the way! Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 The 210 was barely adequate for the L16, why would anyone spend $2,500 to try to turn a 210 head into a 219? You can get a U-67 with 42mm intakes and 35mm exhaust and larger intake ports any day of the week for $50 from a wrecker. The PO must have a screw loose to put this on an L20B. Must have killer compression too with all the milling done to it. The bottom of the lettering is missing. This would be good on a smaller L16 and would fool people with the stock casting number. Where's the vacuum advance? No advance is only used if racing. The five speed looks to have been built about 1980. Link to comment
benzo Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I kind of figured you would go ka or sr as it seems you were having issues with the L20. I wish I had some cash as I would not mind buying your whole lot of parts. I know you will sell it all and have fun with the kA swap Link to comment
NorCalDime Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 It never had a vacuum advance on it since ive had it. No vacuum lines at all actually. Link to comment

NorCalDime Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 no block isnt cracked. only issue is that it got moisture on the cylinder walls so there is some surface rust. Not sure if that cant be just cleaned out. Pretty much as seen in pic just w/o a dizzy Link to comment
