cant find parts anymore

[datsunfish]

I have always been able to find datsun valve train parts by nissan # through nissanparts.cc but their not showing them anymore. Theres still a ton of old stock stuff they can get but not the head parts I guess. I am building a head and since I had to shim the cam towers my .450" regrind and taller lash pads sets the wipe pattern way off. I need 190 lash pads and taller retainers to make it work but cant find the retainers anymore. I can still get the lash pads from Z therapy but have to buy a 6 cylinder spring kit to get the retainers. At 450 I dont need springs and without shims the 160 pads would work fine. Gotta be somewhere to find them...I

Datsunfish,

I have a 2 sets (8/set) of Nissan Comp aluminum retainers that I never used. I'll check this evening to see what lash pad range they fit. You should need the .190-.240 range, P/N 99996-M1151. I'll let you know what I have.

 

Drop me a note at dwpatten@gsinet.net

did you call Motorsport teneesee?

lets us know what the deal if they still have these. PM me

 

even if thay have the smaller reatiner the 150 -190 its better than the stock one as long as more of the lash pad is underneath in the retainer so it dotn fall out.

 

can alsway buy a Isky kit or the spring kit w retainers

Datsunfish,

I found the retainers, they are the correct ones.

You might have your local auto parts store check the Beck Arnley World Parts catalog, or google them and check for yourself.
