Skib Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 So according to all of your responses, my truck still has value! Here's the deal, it's cold in Denver in January and I don't have a garage or any tools so realistically I can't fix this problem without a mechanic any recommendations for datsun mechanics in Denver? Or what would any of you pay for a truck in this condition? Denver CO? maybe Bob can help you out Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hahahaha right on Matt. You never mentioned doing this before. Are you a closet crack welder? Did you think we would think this was unacceptable, when in fact, it's actually a typically forward looking ratsun answer to a problem? Wuh hahahaha :lol: :lol: Z24 crack pride, man!!!!!

banzai510(hainz) Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Mike your right, That engine I had was probaply OK but I was going to put a closed chamber head and cam on there. So I said Fuck it and got another L20. I guy was throwing Datsun Parts away at the dump and saw he had datsun stuff. he said You want a L20 I said yeah.

HRH Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Mike, it's up now. Didn't take a picture of the head, it wasn't all that exciting. Maybe I should put it in this thread too. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I am on the vote with the other posters on it being just the headgasket. I also would suggest buying a simple hand tool kit like a craftsman set or something and a simple torque wrench, might look pricey now.. But in the end it will cost less then any shop looking at it.

datzenmike Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 You can: 1/ Replace the head gasket and hope the head isn't warped or only slightly warped and will hold. 2/ Have the head checked for warpage and lightly milled to level it, new gasket. 3/ Replace with a used head from a wreckers. (check for warpage first) Note: this head is an unknown, could have bad valves and seals. I'd have to say door number two, Monte. Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 if its a z24, it could easily be a cracked block, any other motor, i would assume cracked head or bad hg before block..... Quote Link to comment
