datsunaholic Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 ya Iv added oil, it burns. same oil I always run tho Same oil, from the same case, or a new quart bought recently? I ask, because I've heard some nasty rumors of the new EPA-required oil (required for 2011, but the oil companies already started shipping it a couple months ago). It may be nothing, but you're not the first person to have a sudden engine failure recently. Link to comment

It may be nothing, but you're not the first person to have a sudden engine failure recently. its from the pump stuff at work (large tank) so its nothing different as far as I know.............. but who knows. eather way I have to replace the bottom end. on the bright side its the perfect time to put in my good 5 speed and have a motor with all new seals and timing chain.

datzenmike Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 after lookin at it i see that now.....maybe ill go buy it and give skib my l20b bottem end...... Hard to see if it is a 4 or 8 plug head. Dizzy cap has 4 wires but could be wrong. Can't see any plugs on this side either. This is important because IF it is a 4 plug head it will have a matchbox dizzy that will fit the l series. GET IT!!! A 4 plug head makes it a Z20 E maybe or S can't see the manifold. If an EFI motor it will have the coveted 6" rods on 85mm (L20B) size flattop pistons. Z20E piston 2nd over from the right Someone should go check the engine size and take a few pictures. .

DISLEXICDIME Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 i was wondering how long it would take some one to notice the 4 wires Link to comment
