Shit, well at least itll be there for future searches lol.

One thing to keep in mind, is Nissans bearing grading system. The block should have numbers 1-4 next to the mains, and respectively on the crank. Sometimes you can get by with STD bearings, if you can take material off with a micropolish

NIce! Good pictures make everything look better. Facebook told me you deleted your profile the other day, now its back. Suspension? Jacob, I deleted it and most social media for good. It says my profile is still active?? Odd, although i do have a few apps that i sign in with my facebook account ...

Ill probably update this next week, or three years from now. Time will tell lol right on cue Expect updates soon http://s31.postimg.cc/4qorsy4cb/tumblr_o5t1w9iv_De1rgbdxqo2_1280.jpg http://s31.postimg.cc/wfbf0grcr/tumblr_o5t1w9iv_De1rgbdxqo5_1280.jpg http://s31.postimg.cc/3zw1n61yz/tumblr_o5t1w9iv ...

Compression test:
1.110
2.190
3.180
4.180

Lol why is it always the first cylinder

Ok next time I pull the engine she's getting a long rod 2.1

I'm gonna give this another shot before I re-ring this bitch lol. I'm gonna put some ATF in cylinder number 1, and let it sit overnight. if it doesnt slightly fix the problem then.. shit lol I could of sworn I uploaded a picture of the original compression numbers, but I'll update soon with initial ...

I expected this to happen, just not this soon. In my haste, I thought the rings were fine since the hone looked top notch. I’ve been thinking it over, it might just be a stuck oil control ring. I have yet to do a 2nd compression test, I got 180+ across the board the first time before first fire up. ...

It still burns oil on decel, and when I give her the beans. I checked to see of there was any play in the guides when I have the springs out, there wasn't any. Ill do a compression test now. I did one when I put the head on and it was 180 across the board. I may have burned up the rings on way to ...

Did the valve seals today. Real easy with that tool. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-E8UJmrYFH_Y/UoLjYsfPXyI/AAAAAAAAAKs/GWG3QZKs9h8/w958-h719-no/20131112_165643.jpg Old on left, new on right. The new ones are about a 1.5mm shorter.. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-qpzzdCvfZng/UoLjgVM7fpI ...

I figured out why shes idling like utter shit, the two piece adapter for my carbs are leaking in every which way. My solution is to make my own one piece, i dont have machineing tools or anything, just a broken drill press, air powered grinder and a assortment of bits lol. https://lh6 ...

Sorry it got wacked but im glad you still nocking styff out on it.
Awsome!

Oh she exists
Thank you! I'm gonna keep going while im still kickin!

Right? Seems pretty easy too, the Z and KA are pretty similar. The Z timing cover should bolt up to the head!? If not I dont mind some fabrication. Z series timing chain cover exactly fits the KA24E head. The only MAJOR problem is the the timing chain and the cams. the KA-DE has an idler gear at ...

Ah yes, that one. My dad really likes that one, apparently the big wrap around window in the back is sought after?
He really wants 5.0 in there. He also really wants me to do all the work hahaha.

Also ive been looking for this type of valve compressor for weeks.... Apparently mom was using it as a coat hanger in the shop this whole time hahahaha. Well. now I can replace the valve seals on the 510.

ive watched your thread before. I love it man Curious, what's the scoop on that red 60 ford in the background? or is it someone elses. Thanks! :fa: Red 60 Ford truck? Thats pop's. Hes a fucking hoarder. ask pops to unhord it into my yard :rofl: Lol wait do you mean the Apache by chance? im not good ...

Don't I know it. Nothing wrong with a single cam KA head. That would make life much easier. Nope nothing wrong with it at all! I read somewhere that it breathes slightly worse than the DE, the only thing the DE has for it is that 4th valve. I'm just looking for valvetrain stability, the E has hydro ...

Well that's more relevant. I'm digging your KAZ22DE idea. Do that! I loved the LZ. KAZ22 sounds super! Right? Seems pretty easy too, the Z and KA are pretty similar.
