Charlie69 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Mark also is the oil looks milky it has water in it. Does someone you know have a compression tester? You can probably get one at O'reilly's or Auto Zone as a borrowed tool. You pay for the tool and when you bring it back undamaged with your recite you get your money back. Call me I need to talk to you. Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Been a few months guys...I'll be pulling the old motor today. Something in the block let go a few months ago. I have a running L 18 that's cleaned & painted that will be swapped in maybe today as well. 2 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Mark called this evening and told me that the new engine starts and runs great but it smokes between gears. He said that there is a light stream of oil running down from #1 exhaust port. I suggested that he might have a cracked valve seal. This engine sat for years and might have had this problem when Mark picked it up. I explained to him how to replace valve seals without pulling the head and also explained running a dry and wet compression test. He is going to check it out. In the mean time I ordered a set of valve seals from Rock Auto for him. He should have them by the first of next week. Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Charlie anything your doing to help me is much appreciated.hoping soon that the trucks wiring will be functional & safe. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Mark I asked Gene if he was willing to drive me up there to get your wiring done and he said it would have to be on a Monday or Tuesday. Is either one of these days of the week doable for you for a day off? I would prefer Monday so Gene would have a day off work after the trip. 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I could use all the time off so I can move next to tom (dat620) & be within 7 minutes of drive time by you charlie 1 Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Gene thanks for wanting to help out. Charlie...I work Mon & Tuesdays but I may be able to get one of them off if I have advance notice. I'm hoping I can get this resolved with your diagram to save you guys a long trip here. 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I'm hoping that you can get it fixed cuz I need to start moving all my stuff into storage and I don't think the new owners of my house will let me have up to a month to move out completely from my current location 1 Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Ok following the diagram Charlie made for me today I was able to eliminate a few wires that weren't needed & add a few that need to be there. I've now got the fuse block wired correctly with the exception of a few wires that simply aren't on the factory harness & the truck starts & doesn't blow any fuses. I have an issue at the Alt. plug thats causing the charge light to stay on but as of today I can start & move the truck . I can't thank Charlie & Gene enough for helping me figure this mess out. 1 Quote Link to comment
