pjo046 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I don't have a manual for the 280ZXT engine I have bought. What tourqe shall I tighten the head bolts to? And in which order? Also, if I am to do a cold valve adjust, what is the clearances to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getZ Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 okay, since you're to cheap to buy a manual. from "How to Rebuild Your Nissan Datsun OHC Engine" by Tom Monroe L28 cylinder head bolt torque 65ft-lb/9.0kg-m 14 13 10 9 6 5 2 1 4 3 8 7 12 11 front of engine from "1981 Datsun 280zx Turbo Service Manual" valve clearance mm (in) ::::: hot ::::: intake .25 (.010) exhaust .30 (.012) ::::: cold ::::: intake .17 (.007) exhaust .24 (.009) *note this is not for an 83 which has hyraulic lifters (so I've been told) You can get the first book listed from MSA. I had to search for the factory manual. I think you can get those on CD from Nissan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskrat Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 The 'how to rebuild' book really is an excellent resource, and at $20 US, its well worth the money even if you only use it as a handy reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjo046 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 Yeah, I have already bought it. But it's on it's way along with some parts from MSA. Haven't received it yet. Thanks for the replies guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
