alecvkent Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hey everyone, thanks for your help already and I am sure this will be an easy answer or no-brainer... but, I am trying to replace the head gasket and I am on the last step before being able to do so according to the 1975 b210's repair manual. I have taken all of the bolts off of the mainfolds, or at least think I have, but it doesnt seem like it wants to/ or is able to move off of the block. Anyone know why? Or what else I need to remove? AND - how to post a photo.. Is it through the my media button or what..? Thanks again Quote Link to comment

If they do, there are two nuts that are a raging bitch to get at. At least on an l series. A series ppl should be able to tell you more 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Some of them were "married" manifolds where the intake and exhaust bolt together. Quote Link to comment
Tom1200 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Alec I routinely pop the head off with full intake and exhaust attached. There are a couple of nuts that are hard to get at. On the race car I unbolt the exhaust pipe from the header, pop the throttle cable off, pull the fuel line and then pull the whole assembly. The manifold nuts are easier to get to with the head tipped on its side. Quote Link to comment
alecvkent Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 okay - so thank you and a buddy with a spare one out of a car showed me where the bolts and washers are, have them all off - still it won't clear where the driveshaft goes... <a href="http://s665.photobucket.com/user/bluejayway11/media/datsun%20en%201_zpszhuo34yn.jpg.html"target="_blank"><img src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv11/bluejayway11/datsun%20en%201_zpszhuo34yn.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo datsun en 1_zpszhuo34yn.jpg"/></a> http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv11/bluejayway11/datsun%20en%201_zpszhuo34yn.jpg i don't know if these photos will work but I am trying..

alecvkent Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 not drive shaft - ha, steering column.. my bad. and it does that with about 2 or three cm. left of thread on the bolts Quote Link to comment
alecvkent Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 it almost seems like I have to undue the three bolts that attach there on that thing and remove it, because it would definitely then be able to clear, but don't know how hard it would be to reassemble or if it would mess with the alignment, etc..
