    coolant leak n42/n42 combination

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    ok so i bought this junked block that has been sitting for a couple of years. the po said that it ran fine when before he pulled it, no leaks or anything of that matter. i did the usual, machined the head, new gaskets and such. the car is on two stands. when i was underneath my 280, i noticed that there was coolant leaking. it was a stream of coolant running along from the front of the oil pan, to the back.

     

    one other fact. on the l6 motors, there are two nipple like thingies that pop out from the block so the head could match up to it perfectly. i forgot to put those on. so i was wonering if those two nipple things could be the problem.

     

    thanks.

    2.8 short block

    sounds tempting, but i dont know what the cost of new pistons, and remachining the block would be.

     

    i really want to just slap something in my car so i can get it to run by the end of my senior year of high school. but if a couple of weeks roll by and i dont get one, i guess ill take yours. but for now. im lookin for one that i can just slap in.

     

    thanks

    Im looking for a big bore bottom end (basically everything except for heads, manifolds, oil pan, and tranny)

     

    Which consists of, block, pistons, rings, rods, and crank.

     

    My intentions are to slap in a good block to get my car running before my senior year of high school ends.

     

    Im pretty sure that all L6's are interchangeable for different heads, but i have a n42 head, so preferably one that fits that.

     

    thanks.

    new fuel pump

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    ok so i just rebuilt my engine and it was only turning. no fuel going to the injectors at all. so i decided to replace the fuel pump. i buy a replacement from a member on hybridz. I was mad at the old fuel pump because it was the only thing stopping me from starting the car. I lit it on fire, left it for about 3 minutes. the fire got waay too big, so i dumped water and sprayed windex on it to put it out. so i go down to install the pump i recently got. it didnt work. so i back track on the pump, and find some bad connections....thats not the worst part. It turns out, that the pump i just bought, was suckier than the one that was in my car, ripped out, on fire, and doused in water. so i put the OLD pump back in. sure enough, it fires up.....

    no fuel after rebuild

    the grounds are good. i dont know whats next besides replacing the fuel pump and injectors. idont want to do that until im sure of the problem.

     

    i forgot to mention. prior to my rebuild, the engine overheated. by the engine overheating, could that have caused the pump to go out? or injectors?

     

    thanks

    info: 77 280z l28 stock

     

    my friend and i assembled my engine back together today.

     

    as i tried to fire it up, it only cranked. there was spark going through the wires. we popped open the fuel line right above the fuel filter and it was filled with gas. after about 10 tries of just cranking, i took off one of the spark plugs and there was not a drop of gas. they looked brand new out of box.

     

    i dont know if its wiring, of fpr, or what

     

    please help!! thanks

    Fan Clutch Good or Bad?

    in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z

    Posted

    My engine recently overheated and shut off. As I got it started after it just died, my friend held down the fan blade with his fingers and it didnt move at all.

     

    my question is, how do you know if fan clutch is bad?

     

    Was my fan not working because my engine overheated? or did my engine over heat cause my fan was bad.

     

    I was also wondering if anybody has ever done the MSA electric fan conversion. I would like to see if they like electric better than the regular.

     

    thanks
