If real rubber, use vegetable oil. Anything petroleum will soften and dissolve rubber. 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted July 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Welp bo luck on the one so I reached out to the seller on eBay who refunded me my $9. Right now I got one 9/10 of the way in and the other 0/10. Seller sent me some brown English suggestion about a fishing pole which made no sense. No way to turn them either because they are square along with the hole they go into. Going to try vegetable oil and a long pole to push them in. 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I am too lazy to look but does anyone know how many splines are on a 521 steering column? 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Another question, I am going to look an engine pulled from a 510, owner thinks it is an L20B and it has dual carbs but not sure what kind. How can I confirm its an L20B? This is the parts pile I am going to check out...what are the chances they had dual carbs on an l16? 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) If owner thinks its a L20 then he wasnt into 510s that much not to know/care those are Mikuni carbs and the short manifold. look like 40s with horns and aircleaner assembles I hope. I had 40s on a L16, still do. L20 will be on the block passenger side like yours that says L16 I think its worth it for the motor and carbs. Offer $300 then 350. The rest would be costing you to get rid of as maybe not to many 510 owners on east coast. All 510ers will need s half shaft I would try to get it if near you to ck out Edited July 10, 2019 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Look at right side of block on top near head and it will show engine displacement. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Also front timing cover is 4 bolt on stop near head. 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Owner had a local shop build his 510 but I think he bought the 510 already modded and doesn't seem to know much about what is on those pallets. The shop that did the work is top notch and ripped everything out as you can see. saw somewhere that L20 TC has 4 bolts vs 2 on a L16/18. Also the vent pipe on the block has right angles vs straight out on the 16-18s. Its about 20 minutes away so I can get it if it makes sense, but I got no interest in anything l16. '72 510s came with a L16 + 4 speed right? Obviously some work done to this one as its got the dual mikunis and a black timing cover vs the stock silver so hopefully some other upgrades. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) if right 90deg out of crankcase can be a L18 also or a Late Jap crate motor L16type as I had one. But all L20s had the 90deg. black timming cover don't mean anything I think I would try to get it . as parts are harderto geton east coast. See what type of head as that goes on on L motors and maybe its a closed chamber spare distributor, I hve gone threw 3 in my 25years. They wear out!!!

d.p Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Looks like a points dizzy no? Seller told me he swapped a F20C from an S2000 as well as 240sx suspension into his 510. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 cant tell but most likely it is but if single point one can put a Pertronix in there. I use them for trouble shooting also. in case one thinks a carb is bad butbest to swap in a dist 1st to make sure. offer 300 and keep this for spares 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) It’s an l20b w/dual Mikunis and pertronix dizzy. Block is painted red so it’s been touched before, by how much I don’t know. Couldn’t discern what kind of head but I would assume it’s something decent. No idea if I could use the tranny or how many gears it has. Trying to find out and have pics will post them shortly.

d.p Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Bought the engine for $100, didn't care for the transmission (4 speed) or anything else. Getting the block/head/dizzy/mikunis/clutch+flywheel and the OEM radiator. Not sure what else I should grab? Lots of oil over the block between the head and block and around the front and TC. Lots of RTV on the TC as well. Also the vent tube is straight off the block but its still an L20B so not sure what that means if anything? I got a line on some 720 4x4 leaf springs as well, can confirm they are the right ones? Pics here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/149231725@N05/albums/72157709565713666 Also can someone confirm these are 720 4x4 springs? Edited July 10, 2019 by d.p 3 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Nice score.... you got everything I would and for 100 cant go wrong.... no idea on the leaf springs.... 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Yes they appear to be 4X4 leafs, you can tell because the eyes in the leafs are centered in the leaf while all 2wd leafs have the eyes above the leaf. 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 If the mount bolt centered on the leaf, if they are from a Datsun/Nissan 720 then they are 4X4 leafs. 720 4X4 leaf eye 720 2wd leaf eye 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 I cant tell the difference but for $140 shipped I guess I could take a chance. Any idea what bushings I need to use to make them up work? 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 $140 shipped isn't terrible. They are super heavy after all. I paid $129.50 shipped for a set in 2015 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Shit, $100 for just the mikunis would be a steal. 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Hell yeah it is. I can take whatever else I want besides the wheels and tires. Anyone got any idea what would be worth some $$$ if I did take it? Edited July 10, 2019 by d.p 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm going out on a limb and say this is from a '74 610. The 710 and 620 didn't get the L20B until '75 but the first year they were used was on the '74 610. A sort of transition year. I know that this year L20B also had the block vent tube come straight out of the block and it used the L16/18 four into two cast exhaust header still. That's most likely a 200mm PP and clutch as it comes from a car. The head will almost certainly be an A87. Look between the #1 and #2 plugs down where the head meets the block. 1 Quote Link to comment
