- Hi Folks.
So this ended up being a bigger challenge than expected. The head I bought was not great at all needed a lot of work. Then decided to chance going down the route of manually leveling the cam shaft. Dodgy approach but worked out.
Now I'm going to reassemble it all and see how it matches up with the block. I might have to come back and install tower shims to get the exact height back again.
Hope ye enjoy and I am opened to criticism on this one over my approach.
Cheers
I would shim the cam towers up instead of sanding off. It helps keep the timing where it should be based on chain length.
Great work Sir! Just found this page and very hopefully!! Keep it up!
Cheers!
This is a great channel, any updates on the Z?
Very soon. Sorry for the pause but content any day now
Alright dude? That baba keeping you busy? Hope all's good. Loving the channel. Keep her lit
She sure is. I'll have her out welding for me in no time 😄
can you make your technical book available, I can't find any.
How to Rebuild your Nissan & Datsun OHC Engine by Tom Monroe. But be a little careful as I found a few mistakes. I'll be talking about it in the coming episodes.
How's the car going?
Good. Been busy else where but should be getting it moving again now
I recognise the gloves 😂
Oooooh yeah!
I have to say you should of just skimmed the top of the head
Couldn't agree more. Sleep dept of having the young one didn't help. This process is for heads that don't have a flat plane upper section but works just fine anyway
