jrock4224 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 So building a Lz motor for the red truck for fun got some wild cam or something. I don't know I haven't been following the build while my life spirals a parallel to the live news coverage of 9-11. Anyway motors about done but ........ Need this .....a message I rec'd from Hans ..... 99996-m1270 is the part # for the .270 lash pads. Should be a set of 8. The spring retainer # is 99996-m1051. Should also be a set of 8. (Nissan motorsports) Called my boo Russell at nissanparts.cc across the freeway and his usual craftyness at aquiring wierd requests and bomb ass parts only netted me a no longer stocked or existing ....... So help ratsun where do I go now..... If u have questions it might take a few I haven't followed the build much ...... I know a few particulars ..... 89 pistons I think .... U 67 head ..... Cam and accessories...... Anyway I have exhausted my bevy of connections ( 2 people and Russell was my go to ) anyway ask question ..... Poke fun ....... Say I'm a idiot ....... But any help would be appreciated ........ Well, back off to living my jerry springer life...... Been busy trying to blow up my truck everytime I drive it when I'm not moon walking out of court rooms and legal offices ....overheated the shit out of the l16 the other day pushed a lot of coolant still running though ..

datzenmike Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Throw a stock cam in for now and git er done. Keep looking in mean time. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Parts are coming from the z store and wolf creek thanks guys big help as usual and yes mike that was my suggestion all along..... Lol ...... Building this motor and helping source ford v8 parts for the teal Bronco ...... Hard keeping it straight ......... I'm gonna research a l series with Ka pistons or something for my truck ...... I dunno something easy .......... What piston is 87.5. I bought them from Derek draynor but can't rrbered what I bought ...... They were actually for this Lz motor then decided on bigger ones. ...... Iay have bought z pistons I can't remembers Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Z22 used an 87mm so 0.020" over size will work on a Z22 crank and rods. I think 0.020" over VG30 would be 87.5mm for width but pin height will determine what will fit. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 you can fudge the retainer size long as most of the lash pad is in the retainer so it don't flop out. 270 is a big pad. Must be a regring cam. if new you can get away with smaller but its a best guess on lash pad size. unless you sized it somehow. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 ok wolf creek is not customer friendly ... is there any other ideas on the spring retainers... wolf creek doesnt really do those parts anymore.. so i need suggestions ... not sure whee the cam came from i havent been following much of the build ... he bought i ti off a guy in oregon......

MicroMachinery Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 You just need the little 2pc retainers? How many? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thats weird, I must be the exception for WCR customer service. Ive seen a couple other people complain about him, but all the times Ive dealt with the guy have been great. Guess I caught him in a great mood. Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 You just need the little 2pc retainers? How many? there bigger then stock? Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Didn't know there were different sizes of retainers. I just have stock ones. Let me know if you need them. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 All I did was send him an email... "Looking to purchase a set of valve spring retainers for a Datsun 4cyl. How would I go about purchasing the "99996-M1150 Purple Alum Retainer for tall lash pads from .240" to .340"" Thanks!" The bold part was copied and pasted from his website. He responded with an email asking for my zip code so he could send an invoice. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I guess he just didn't like you jcock. At least he didn't trash your shit. Quote Link to comment
