Patch Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Begun the motor teardown today. So far so good. Was going to do the full teardown but I work 7-7 every day so I got a little tired and decided to just relax for the rest of the night. Motor has definitely been apart before, or at least the head has. I have two #52 cam caps, one of which has been stamped with a #4 by a builder. Here's pics of my progress. Quote Link to comment
sanitys Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 front sump, so you have a 240sx engine, and not a hardbody Quote Link to comment
Patch Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Cool! Thats good to hear! I believe my trans is 240 also. Thats why my mounts look like crap, because they welded them forward more so they wouldn't have to cut the driveshaft. If I could figure out the exact driveshaft measurement I need I'll call up DSS and see what they can fab up for me :D Quote Link to comment

Patch Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Still looking for an L series, so no updates yet. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 front sump, so you have a 240sx engine, and not a hardbody The 240sx motor has full floating piston pins as opposed to the Hardbody engine. This is also good for freeing up hp as they reduce friction at RPMs. The 240sx rods have a bronze insert for the pin to 'float' in and will not interchange with the Hardbody ones. The pistons have provision for cir-clips to prevent the pin from 'floating' sideways and hitting the cylinder wall. Hardbody piston/pins/rods are pressed on just like the L and Z series.
