69dime Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have 2 of these that came from a 69 510 4 door in a junkyard. The engine was missing, but these were in the car, and it had a Z transmission. They don't appear to be from an L16. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

Wild assed guess, late model metric 1600 roadster or 2 liter roadster housing. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have one somewhere and the thermostat housing to go with it. It on a 4 cyl L head but might be from a I6. Yeah, here it is: Now the one you have could be off anything, even a tractor. But Nissan did have them and they did fit the L heads. I just seem to remember seeing one on inline six and thinking, that where they come from.. Quote Link to comment
exit64 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Definitely not a Roadster part. The 3 bolt thermostat housing has a filler cap on the top of it. The 2000 part that looks like that is only 2 bolt. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Looks like Australia or elsewhere, 200B, Violet... the Auzy 720s use L series motors Quote Link to comment
69dime Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Weird. I wonder what motor he was running with the Z transmission. So does anybody want these? I can't use them. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 It kind of looks like my diesel thermostat covers. wayno Quote Link to comment
justin 620 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I just took one off my l20b, that one looks very similar! The taller hole is the anchor point for the hard fuel lines, if I had to guess, I'd say l20b. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 It might have been used on the L20B but everyone I have ever seen does not have it. It would fit any 4 or 6 cylinder. I did see one on a 280z once figured they were from them, but who knows? Found it It was factory on the May '78 and on 200sx. and would require the different bottom housing half as well that bolts to the head. Three bolt outlet Nissan # 11060 Y7010 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 in the Felpro kits there will be a 2 or 3 hole top housing gasket. Most I see are the 2 hole kind but there are the 3 holes also. most early ones were 2 hole Quote Link to comment
