whyrualive Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Did you powdercoat of paint the block / head? It looks like the seat area for the manifold is painted. Will that affect sealing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickiewicked240z Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 no powdercoat just regular high temperature paint only the side were painted not the top of the block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARZ_ Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Mine is a 71, it has much less rust than yours but you work is commendable. I dont plan on stripping it down near as far as you did. Nice work!!! I think the color combo with all the red next to the white will be striking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARZ_ Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Looks great I did the same thing with a bunch of my engine and chassis parts, I will edit this post with a few photo links when I have time to find them. It makes all the difference in the world when you can find a polisher that dosent ream you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickiewicked240z Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 i used kreem sealer. first time doing this so it came out ok. heres are some pictures.It was eihter doing it myself or paying almost $300 dollars to have a shop do it. it was so hot in the Inland Empire july 4 that i didn't have time to remove some of the leftover sealer so i got some drips. stuff dries quick but you have to leave it for atleast 2 days for it to fully cure.

WizardBlack Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 They sell a special screw-on fitting for a cutoff tool at your local auto parts store. It is essentially a rubber pad with a bunch of rubber fingers on it. It will strip the paint off (or old dried gasket material) without doing much to the aluminum of the head. Makes for a nice pretty "brushed" finish to put up to your gaskets.

wickiewicked240z Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'm going to be installing the 240sx e-brake handle, cables and calipers in the next couple of days. Lots of cutting fabricating and welding. Also i will be installing Ross rear calipers brackets. which i just order. I decided to go with the 240sx e-brake system its more modern i guess and to be different. Its going to be on the drivers side, i was thinking of putting it in the middle of the trans tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
