72240z Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Found, used or made y wing bolts for an L series or really any datsun motor? Seems like it would be nice to have if you wanted to adjust lash on the fly or show off valve train at a show etc... I was thinking of buying a cheap v8 set and re-threading them. That sound dumb to anyone? lol Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 my only issue with thouse is there is no garentee there tight enough would be cool though Quote Link to comment

SRSANDS Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I had them on my 66 Impala in high school, they were a PITA. Constatly had to make sure they were snug, and got residue leaks often But they looked cool. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Ya see, I have seen daily's with them, if they piss oil all over then it's not worth it then. Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 i was thinking of getting a set also but have seen the seepage issues with them and not sure i want to deal with that Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 use hex cap screws and make custom Y wrenchs that will stay in place for a show. dont forget to remove before closing the hood! Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well my car will never be a show car, I was a rat even before I came here lol. Just saying I thought it would be a cool option to have, pulling your valve cover any time any where. Thanks for chiming in guys. I guess the concussion is go for it if you don't mind weeping oil, or bring a tool. Quote Link to comment
athoose Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I never had a leak with them. Sometimes they would loosen up. Check them frequently when first installed. Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 if it has a t-top style, use a box end of a wrench to tighten them just that little extra. ive never had a leak on v8 with them, sure was handy for valve lash like your thinking. Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 If you have to adjust your lash that often, you have problems! Leave them off and just stick to what is on it now for trouble free operation. Those things look hokey as hell on anything but a solid lifter drag car. What next, a "Foot" gas pedal?
