izzo Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Oh Ja? Idk how to install towers and cam. Never done that before and don't want to break the cam after I run it lol. Peanut head would be good since this is an L16. Other option is find a running l16 or 18 and stuff it in there Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 i know someone with a fresh L18..... ;) Quote Link to comment

RedBanner Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Also every one says not to remove the cam towers,,, but the nismo book clearly tells you how to replace them.... with a rubber mallet. So I dont know. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hey man. While installing this I had to play dad also for two kids. Making food breakfast lunch, dunner yadda blah blah. Didn't take any pics after I swapped the oil pan and stuff the L18 back in. but the L18 is mated to the trans, just have to set the motor mounts right. Need to install two trans bolts (top) Install starter Hoses Wires Oil Tires Vroom! Quote Link to comment
