......Tomorrow......rebuild existing engine and drop back in......

Turns out.....

.......an engine is not needed.......

.....................he drove up here from Cal Poly because some shop diagnosed it as a bad valve in the head....

 

He brought it up on a trailer......got here about 7ish....

It still ran and didn't sound as bad as I thought......

 

...........so I had him rip the valve cover off to check valve clearance........

Shocking........6/8 valves were waaaay too tight.......

....time to learn how to adjust valves........

  • 2 weeks later...

the guy used to be on here... i forget his screen name.

 

 had that cream colored kingcab on titans that was really low when he was done with it. 

 

seems he got out of the datsun scene after some personal stuff came up? his kingcab has been on the List a few times now.

Guy in SoCal bought it and was gonna ship it to Troy Ermish.....

......he ran into someone that knows me and told him to call me........

 

...........so he had it towed here for me to get running so he can fly up and drive it home......

 

 

We'll see how this story unfolds.....

I put a ratchet on the crank bolt and started to spin it to TDC.....

..................I made it about 15* before I hit something solid............and it would not turn no mo.......

 

So for shits and giggles I spun it back the other direction..........same shit........10-15* and BAM....solid.........

 

 

Gotta getta hold of the owner and see what he want to do next.......

 

Engine dismantling......numbers do match on this car :thumbup: .........or......

Engine swap...................

look at the cam lobe position when it loocks up.

 

you know close to TDC the first 2 lobes will be in the 10 oclock and 2 oclock position. if not the look at the other lobes and maybe hitting a piston or cam sprocket was whay off whn install or not set to TDC when removed ect....... was motor apart then reinstalled and not running since then

History would help

I doubt transwould be in gear. he works on cars for a living........... and in my experiences when a tensioner pops out the motor would bearely move 5* but  im sure not every situation is the same....
