Looking for the longer vales with 2mm or so longer stems than what is in a p79 or p90 head the lengths in mm are: N42/47 Int: 115.2 Ex: 116.0 P79/P90 Int: 113.1 Ex: 113.9 email or txt is best krupx253@gmail.com / 303-500-3307

Actually it's been heavily researched and a p79/90 with flat tops that .010 matters you need to get the piston as close to the head as possible to squish the air more into the head chamber to reduce detonation. I've done the research, it make sense. I think it matters and when building a very specific engine it is a huge determining factor for power when considering compression and detonation thresholds. But ive also heard bad news about the Felpro gaskets. I'm really just wondering if the ones msa sells fit a p90 or what because my p79 and 90 have the same oil passages and it fits for a f54/79 combo it should for a p90 as well than

How do you know either of those are 1mm gaskets? I can't find any information on them other than they are an oe fit. The oem gasket is not 1mm

Can't seem to find a supplier for this I'm wondering what the best option is for a 1mm head gasket on an engine with a f54 / p90 combo and where I can find it. I'm specifically looking for a 1mm gasket or a layered gasket possibly? Also curious as to what the difference in a gasket for a p79 would be, can one be used? This is a non turbo application Thanks for any help in advance!

anyone in the seattle area have an alternator bracket handy or easily removed? 2 bolts broke inside mine and removal of them was nasty to say the least. i really need one asap if anyone in the area has one. email : bryan.marchuk@5bsinvestments.com thanks bryan or call my cell 602.410.9812

yeah, what award280 said ... also replace the fuse just to confirm its good, sometimes the fuses blow or wear out on the tips and you cant see the break because its not in the middle...

I think its a common misconception that the f54 is a better block. I did alot of research on this before I decided which block to use. Im definitly using my n42, for the reasons stated above.

I have a 2+2 shell in puyallup, wa if you want it. email me at bryan.marchuk@5bsinvestments.com for more info

ive also been thinking of doing this swap, i have a n47 just sitting in my parts car ive been thinking of swapping... so to answer some more specific questions for the poster and myself.. With the msa stage 2 or 3 cam in mind, can the car run on stock efi, and be "fine" if yes or no, what are the drawbacks? basically i wanna know if im going to ruin something by not getting megasquirt or something right away.. and will the gains still be greater than the losses? Timing can probably be taken care of in some way with the stock distributor as the last user posted, correct?

Ok so i have a parts car, 280zx 2+2. I know you can buy the rear fender for a coupe from black dragon or some others, but i need a 2+2 piece, so I need to cut this one off, and have a body shop weld it on most likely. Problem is there is no way to get the undamaged non running parts car to a body shop to have it removed, to have it placed on the damaged car. So, any quick tips on how to cut this off easily? or is there no easy way to do it? am i even capable of doing this? i have the time, and patience, but probably not the tools, or knowledge. by looking inside the car i can see its attached around the door, and where the wheel well sticks out. and the rear obviously I would need to whole piece from the door below the window to the back of the car. I saw a thread by searching of a guy who did this, but no info at all really. Am I in over my head?

hey man go here: http://www.xenons130.com/reference.html and download the factory service manual for your year. those are amazing refrences for any issues with your car. Im not sure where those things tie in at wiring points, but it sounds like old connections may be corroded etc. one thing ive learned from these cars over the years is that its rarely the device thats bad, its a connection, relay, etc.. but sometimes otherwise... but you can track it all down with the Service Manual

thanks moby
