A14 head gasket question


Recommended Posts

I am currently rebuilding my 78 Datsun B210 A14.

So I ran into a pickle. I have no idea where this oil ring or this O-ring goes.

But I have no clue where it goes or if it even applies to my A14

I am just double checking before I put my head gasket and head on. Thanks guys!

Agree with Morrisun on the O ring.  The smaller one with the orange on it I think goes in an oil passage between block and head like the illustration you posted.....maybe between #2 and #3 pistons in one of those innermost holes.  I cannot remember for sure as I have not had an A motor apart in several years, and in the back of my head I am wondering if I used it at all.

Im am pretty sure I don't need the orange copper one. Doing a little bit more research on the interwebs, I found out that 1967-1973 blocks and heads have an oil passage. Mine doesn't.

Whoops  :poke:

On the other hand, The O-ring fits perfectly in the distributor hole. Thank you guys!
