banzai510(hainz) Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 68datsun510. I seen your head. Those lash pads look like they stick up alot. Are those stock retainers? Have you thought of getting the aftermarket ones? So tha lash pads fit more securely in they so they dont flop out. also you can get new heater hoses they still have them. The S shaped one that goes to the head where the L one fit in to head.In the photos look like top points up for some reason Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Head was built and prepped by Rebello Racing, not gonna touch it. I have new stock nissan heater hoses in my bin-o-parts, i jus use the goofy hose because its heater hose coupler points upward. Dont wanna try and re-clock it. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 read what? lol I dont get it.. what are you trying to say to me here cody? Quote Link to comment

Seems your lash pads are sticking out rather excessively on the intakes, looks like you could use some 150-180 retainers...????. I believe they might have a tendency to fall out with higher RPM???

68Datsun510 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Well, its a head built by a guy who has been in business with championship winning race engines for longer than I've been alive.
