can you see the collant circulation when you take off the radiator cap? is that how you tell if the pump is good?

Im also curious whats the outcome?

I have read other peoples over heating problem an i did try there methods but im still getting around 200degrees it looks like. I first started out with the stock fan clutch without the shroud and it ran fine for a pretty good while, as i mean in days that i did drive her. On my other 280z motor i had the same setup an it was fine. After the over heating problem on my 280zx motor i picked up a new radiator and a used electric fan from the JY an i still used the original hoses. It really didnt improve the heat an actually got hotter and started shooting coolant out of the side hole. This will happen when i shut off the engine but does when its running. Im thinking i should get a new water pump and a better electric fan? On the other hand, i know i shouldnt do this but when the engine just starts up with the radiator cap off can you tell that the coolant is flowing? Maybe i dont have circulation?

i need the fan an clutch.

Im looking to get $100 for mine. I got it for myself to use. Its dam strait, it came out of 83 turbo with like 50K miles.

Ahh i found some but they came out to be around $50. Im still looking to spend around 15 for this lil thing ; )

So i ripped 3 rubber stock tubes that connects the throttle body to the mass sensor... I dont wanna be ghetto this time with this swap. I have tryed cutting some up but still it isnt the way i want it to look.. I was just wandering what people have used to replace this curved rubber tube with?

I have this problem and i heard you can snug on a lil filter. I have tryed this and im still leaking...Did i break some seals?

AHhhh thanks yall. That did the trick.

Ohh...sounds like my old one. I just swap motors..

Thanks ill give that a try

Anyone have a good recommendation on tightening the drive shaft bolts that go to the diff. Im having a lil problem of stripping them with a rench because i cant get a ratchet completely over the bolts.

Doing my F54 long block swap and i seem to burn out my flywheel. Its with a 4 speed into my 280z. Im not sure why it did. I tryed it with a new started and still seems to just grind it. Im looking for a cheaper fly wheel sense im over budget already but if anyone has one laying around or one for sale please contact me. My address is Texas 78734. Thanks

Thanks man. Now i think i need a new fly-wheel after starting it up with the new exhaust it doesnt seem catch. I picked up and new one and tryed it out but still the same problem. New fly-wheel? I just did a longblock swap and torched the wheel to 100. I started it up when i had my old exhaust on there and it ran fine. After changing the started, no improvement.

That will be great. Im in Austin,Texas 78734. Tell me how much total and we will finish the deal
