SHADY280 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 aight here are the pix, wow you guys only had to wait one day!!! came with another legendary elephant valve cover. i found in the exhaust port some porosity like they ground too far, then filled it, so im gonna have it looked at b4 installing it. itll be some time tho, i wanna build the injection manifold before it gets mounted, he also gave me a 4 banger matchbox dizzy.

]2eDeYe Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wow, those are huge valves for that head :D Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wow,massively ported too. Get a big fat cam setup and some sidedrafts and you got a racer(from 1971). Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 ehehehehhe, i saw the ports and was really surprized how big they were, im doing a ratsun intake from a zcar manifold, but i do have some round top su's i could make work. dont have a cam yet, but one day, its a shame the stock cam will go in unless i find a nice one for cheap. its gonna be a great flowing head, and maybe save on fuel if my foot stays off the wood! the guy had lots of intake mani's, but i couldnt spend the cash, its bad enough i went for a flywheel, and left with a head i really kinda didnt need, but a good deal is a good deal.

mklotz70 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 any chance you have a pic of the valve cover from a bit further back? I'm curious to see if it has the ribs over the hump and is actually threaded for the cap. Some guys simply thread the cap into the 1/4 opening.......so says Pete Peters :) Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 does that help???? he does have a rea l1600 valve cover too. this one is threaded for what we think is even more extra oiling, any ideas on that?? Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 thanks...that's not the really rare one with the ribs running over the hump AND a threaded cap. Extra oiling because of the cap?? It seals better, but I don't see how it would add to oiling. Maybe somebody else knows differently. Thanks for the pic!! Quote Link to comment

It seals better, but I don't see how it would add to oiling. Maybe somebody else knows differently. Thanks for the pic!! I'm still curious if it really exist. Can anyone else verify this?

mklotz70 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm curious to see if it's really real too. I heard about it when talking with Steve Epperly of ZTherapy. Anyone who knows him would say he is one heck of a datsun encyclopedia! He's got datsun stuff most datsun people have never even heard of. Anyway....he's the only person I've ever heard about it from....so it would be cool to have it verified. Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 you got a pic of the ellusive cover??? im gonnacheck the one on my truck and compare to the one i just got. im still wondering on the threaded plug in the side of the valve cover, there was an oiling line coming from the oil pressure sender to theat threaded hole when keith disassembled it, but he cant remember what kind of nossle was up in there.

Mark_Z28 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The valve guide in the picture sure hangs down pretty far into the port, looks like it would be a restriction. Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The valve guide in the picture sure hangs down pretty far into the port, looks like it would be a restriction. Shouldnt be much more of a restriction then the valve itself. And it probably looks so deep since so much material has been taken out of the port walls. Quote Link to comment

The plug in the valve cover is for the line to feed the cam spray bar. You run an external oil line up to it and to the spray bar. Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 yeah they do hang down, but they are titanium too!!!! hmm the spray bar in the pic has no spot where i could attach the line to, thats most of the confusion. got a pic of one built at all anyone? Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Could it be that that spray bar is ported to a hole drilled on the outside of the cam tower? Notice the oiler hole inside the tower wall. If a solid camshaft with no oiler holes were used the oil pressure should exit wherever possible. If it has no plumbing I would take it off and inspect.

SHADY280 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 the spray bar has special things welded to the back of the towers that allows oil to flow into the bar. it comes up from the bottom of the towers just like the "newer" zx heads have. im really gonna have a look when its time to assemble the head onto the truck, it still needs valves and springs. being that the truck runs right now the head it just going to be a jig for the intake mani.
