    timing chain question

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    Thanks guys for the responses to this one, the crank was turned just slightly to allow the chain to seat into proper location on the sprocket i guess my visual top dead center may have been a tad off .it appears that Timing Relationship between Crank and Cam is dictated and somewhat limited by distance between the two special chain links on a stock motor. hey thrust nut just noticed you are an aircraft mechanic just thought i would tell you my brother in law has a p51 mustang with the rolls merlyn engine in it its pretty awesome it actually did several tours of duty and shot down maybe 13 german lutwaffe in wwII.....

    timing chain question

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    Im rebuilding a stock l28et for my 240z and putting the chain on head has been shaved maybe .005 for straightness and stock head gasket used old sprockets are being used with new chain .#1 piston was set at top dead center visually and cam mark set dead on while putting chain on it was just near impossible to get it on without slightly turning crank to get it on i hope i havent messed up i now realized i should have turned the cam slightly i do have 42 chain pins between sprocket teeth as recomended by other post. AM I OK TO MOVE TO NEXT STEP THANKS PHIL....:D

    ring gap on l6 turbo

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    Ive got a question for anyone thats been here before .Here is what i have TURBO L6 im replacing rings ,bearings ,gaskets.My cylinder walls all mic evenly between each other and still retain factory crosshatching i went ahead and honed the cylinders properly to deglaze them.i ordered standard rings for an turbo L motor my new rings ring gap on top ring three inches down in cylinder is .018 give or take a half a thousands this is outside of the ring manufactures specs of .004 per 1 inch of diameter and also outside of the how to rebuild your nissan L series specs of .012 to .017. My old factory chrome plated top ring in its designated cylinder "3 down measures .013.I have seen on another post two different people getting the .018 thousands ring gap with new rings .my rings are imc.One thing i noticed the part number for aftermarket rings is the same whether or not it is turbo or non turbo.Im thinking the larger ring gap maybe is ok due to higher temps being turbo.If you have been here before PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS thanks phil........:burnout::burnout::burnout:
