Skib Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Trucks still burning oil even after the head swap so I did a compression test today. 140psi across the board, guess Im gonna replace the stem seals again and triple check em Link to comment
Skib Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 blue exhaust? ya I know its oil. it burned before I swapped heads too Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Do a leakdown test. Compression tests can be deceiving. Link to comment
Skib Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Do a leakdown test. Compression tests can be deceiving. it was more to just to confirm my suspicions, i dont think one or two of the seals got seated properly Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hmmm.. if it smokes when you're on it, then it's probably the ring(s). If it smokes on deceleration, it's more likely to be a valve stem seal. Link to comment
Skib Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 every time Iv had an L that burned oil it only smoked when I got on it and every time its been valve stem seals Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Right on. I hope that's the cause. Link to comment

fisch Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 good note to bring this up on I guess :rofl: its going to be a Fitch edition ;) should have seen this coming if you didnt already :lol: no rattle can this time, theres one ding to fix in the bed and the mirror holes to weld up and then itl be off to the painter. I was so stoaked when skib told me he was going this way! Hurry up and get this one done so you can move on to the b210 and by that time I will have a Z all drawn up to follow the b210! Then maybe we will get crazy and do a f10- Just to shake things up! Hmmm we gotta lot of Datsuns to do Skib! Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Speakin of which, you should check to see how much can you get a frontier oil pump for ;) Dont do that, he will have a Ratsun shopping list and there is only about 6K members...

elmerfudpucker Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Y'know skib, these Fisch Edition Datsuns (body by skib) will be collector cars in a hundred years. One down...just a few more to go!! Can I put the bullet holes in the side of it? ;) There may be an auction for that...after a little test... ;) On another note, a smoker behind the holes to simulate smoke from a shot up engine maybe?? I was so stoaked when skib told me he was going this way! Hurry up and get this one done so you can move on to the b210 and by that time I will have a Z all drawn up to follow the b210!
