  1. "not true."

     

    Ok' date=' I'll bite.[/quote']

     

     

    leaking shafts can actually be a good thing. especially in my case.

     

    3.1 liter. i can't get the motor lean enough without the shafts leaking just a touch. why? the motor pulls so much air it sucks more fuel then it really needs on su's hence the leaking shafts being a good thing to let some more air in to lean it out a bit.

  2. Great read! Correct me if I am wrong but our cam sprockets don't allow for degree adjustments' date=' it would take a special sprocket to really "degree" our cams. .So would you be just checking to see if you installed the cam correctly??

    I did this procedure on my Kawasaki 1000 when I installed Web cams but they had slotted sprockets. This is not a job you just jump into but much to my surprise though, the folks at Web were very helpful and walked me thru the procedure to check my lobe centers.It came down to simple math and reading the dial indicator.[/quote']

     

     

    they do make adjustable cam gears for the L series motors. just an extra 300 bucks ontop of what you would initially spend to do it.

  3. for every butt nugget theres a golden kernel, that must be you! heh. I'm still putzing around with ID'ing and labeling stuff as I pull it off the motor. I might, big might, be ready to pull out the motor this weekend.

    pull the motor and tranny as one piece, it makes life easier in the end.

  4. hey butt nugget, i told ya i would help with the et swap. really they aren't hard to do. piddly bolt ons here and there and you have 300 rwhp. which is going to be silly in a 240.

     

    take mine, put down 141 hp, ran 14.5

    {thanks to the msa cam} you're looking at an easy 12 second car. maybe faster under the right conditions.

     

    scott in his crx ran mid 10's on 390 fwhp in his crx. 1700 lb car.

     

    just food for thought

  5. Would this fuel pump be enough to run a boosted L28.

    It seems as though it would be sufficient' date=' but it said it can be used as a booster pump, does that mean that it can't be the primary pump?[/quote']

     

     

    new regulator is a must, might as well get an a1000 pump to cure te fuel supply problem.

     

    build once, over build,

  6. is that going to be for those mystery roller rockers that were on ebay awhile back?

     

     

    nope. completely new engine. rebuilt bottom end, new head

    big nasty stuff goin on.

     

    400 ft lbs of fun

  7. pokin through the "how to modify your datsun" book last night while watchin cartoons {yes i still watch cartoons} the plug, right above the timing tensioner. why is this sucker plugged? same on the back side of the motor? why?

     

    more oil pressure? more pressure to the head? im at a loss here.

  8. ']Good grief the photos made them look as if they were dished 3 cc's.

    You probably have motorsport pistons that have a slight dome to increase compression.

     

     

    thats my guess. it seems a lot of parts for this motor came from them as well

  9. whats getting me is the reverse dish. as in a very small dome.

     

    dunno, i'll get some cleaner or something on them this friday when i go back over there to do some more tinkering. i don't think a pic of the bottom of the piston would do any good either

  10. half a tank of gas, cruizin at 3100 rpms, lean as all hell. as in 18+ a/f no more then 1/4 throttle at any point in time. i could be wrong, but i know it was at least 30 - 32 mpg

     

    14 / 2 = 7

    7 gallons divided by around 220-225 miles driven.

     

    severely babied the car. it IS possible im not saying its a safe way of doing it, but you can do it.

    temperature plays hell with my carbs here in missouri. one day it's great mpg, or runs great, the next day it's sucking down fuel
