Mike_LA Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Greetings all, I have a 1972 240Z which has a blown head gasket and has set for a while, probably seized. Can anyone recommend someone in the Los Angeles Area to help me? Thanks Quote Link to comment

I'm BLUE Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Like Migi Said Do It Yourself ! +1 100% ^^^^ ,,,, :D It is easy , fun , ( can be time consuming for some things like the cleaning :mellow: ) BUT WELL WORTH LEARNING ON YOUR OWN ! Grab a Haynes Manual (general knowledge) , and download the 240z FSM on the internet for ACTUAL Torque specification ( or ask on Ratsun , a few guys on here work at Nissan ;) ) As long as you don't have head bolts break flush into the engine block like mine did on my last rebuild ( blown head gasket , coolant seeped and leaked into the threads ) then you will be good :lol: Just keep everything in the order in which you pulled , lay it all out in order , and bearing main caps/rod caps especially :D Doesn't require many tools (really) either , and you will use these tools again for pretty much everything Quote Link to comment
Mike_LA Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 do it yourself http://olddatsuns.com/620tech.htm Yeah, I know, but it has more to do with free time than $. I rebuilt a few Falcons in my younger days so I know the straight 6 is pretty bullet proof. Well if I don't get to it by the time this job ends Maybe . . . . In the mean time, thanks for the link to the z club and sunrise in glendale. There is a Z guy on the west side but Glendale is closer so that's better Van Nyes isn't out of the question either. Thanks Gang, M Quote Link to comment
