the510keeper Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Merry Christmas ya all. This little beast had a VG30 / 5 speed combo, However the new owner wanted something more OG. Just happened to have a L18 / 5 speed. After a quick compression test POOP. needs to be pulled apart. These guys came over had some beers and made a couple hours out of it. Shit came apart quick Ya all might not know this about me but I've never even done a head gasket. been working on dimes since 1989 Freeze plugs out and to the machine shop hot tank Dave Witt Of Sac chapter Datsun group offer to teach me the reassembly process. New freeze plugs first. Then Paint Now to determine what the head needs, looks like it had a re-ground cam. However nothing else to help that make this engine work better. So head is coming apart for cleaning, surfacing, new seats, and value job Now we wait. 1 Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Ginger came by and helped make her run, he also builds Troy Ermish's 510s. Smart fucker this one. Made a tool to prime the L18 A number of parts FAILED from rockauto. Clutch master cylinder, fuel pump, starter. hoping the best for the rest. Relocated the fuel filer, trying to clean things up. Modified the latch area, seems the new hood shocks might be to powerful. Looking into other options. I've used, used hood shocks and they work great, but wear out soon. new ones change hood alignment. Muffler shop time Starting to look good again Car wash, why not Back in Datsunville Next step Alignment shop. Successful drive back from the Alignment shop. Got to many things going on to dial the last 5% of this build in. So I towed it to Robert Brock (the guy responsible for me getting my 1st 510 in 1989). He said he would gladly finish it off. 2 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Picked up from Roberts Shop, And a few things broke. Not Roberts fault, just part of breaking the car in, no pun intended. Again a bit disappointed with new parts not working after 20 miles. I chose to buy new parts to limit shit failing. Once a few more tiny details were taken care of, I did the 2+ hour drive to Winters Some things just need the new owner to dial in. Gauges worked then stopped working. WTF THE END 4 Quote Link to comment
