ricky Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 the issue is the plate with the notch in it to put the head at top dead center. when i pulled the head i could not find it , turns out the head was worked on before and that plate was on backwards. so the block is top dead center and im not sure how to get the head there. you know to make sure they are on the same stroke or not.

banzai510(hainz) Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 maybe post some photos.hopefully you hava cam sproket w the 4 holes to see the v notch so you can see the cam tower but the vid should get you close to figuring out the rest. Quote Link to comment
ricky Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 The link u posted won't load Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 go to guba.com then enter datsun or hainz and see what comes up. I cant see it here at work if the link works or not. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 In theory it's not hard to reinstall a L series head but if your new to it i can see how it's frustrating. The Hainz video will be very helpfull indeed. A Chiltons or Haynes manual will have pics & text describing how to line everything up too. Hopefully before the head was removed you had the motor lined up @ TDC compression stroke #1 piston. Quote Link to comment
ricky Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have a haynes and to me its very vague. I was able to tdc the block but was not able to mark the head because it was assembled wrong before I pulled the head Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Haynes is kinda vague I believe esp to a new person learning about motors. But the hainz is Ezer if you have a computer link. the head really cant be assembled wrong. it can be put on wrong by the cam in not the right position. i will assume the machine shop did not line it up to TDC. You have to know this. or make it to TDC. but this is ez. maybe the Guba link dont work anybody know? Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 just cut it onto 8 min segments and UL it to youtube. just email it to me if you dont have an editor and I can do it Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Try dailymotion, or Google video (yes I know google is essentially youtube) dailymotion is a no go, google says its the same as youtube but then says nothing on length. Try vimeo or viddler, I would really like to not see this as multiple files. To share to us, place it into a rar file and split it into 6 files. Upload to mediafire (no wait lines for downloading :)) Both Vimeo and Viddler at 500mb but no length limit. I vote Vimeo, nicer site, and able to download original file there. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 ya vemo is good Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Alright guys, here is the Hainz how to replace a head gasket on the L series motor, playlist. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=8EF51386855F2B58 Quote Link to comment
Buzzbomb Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 For people that like Datsuns and have L engines, that video is a super resource, and many thanks again to Hainz for making it. I used it when I replaced my head gasket, and it made all the difference in the world since I wasn't really familiar with the L engine at that time. Glad to see it was saved and is now on Youtube :D One thing the OP didn't say was whether or not he made or used a timing chain holder tool to keep the chain tight when taking the head off...? After watching Hainz's video and determining that everything seems OK, do yourself a favor and do a search here for "head gasket replacement". There are little details when putting it together that can make or break this job..Best to take your time and do it right once than to have to tear it apart and do it again. Quote Link to comment
