New World Datsuns...

Picked up a 73 620 for a friend last sunday. Maybe some of you seen this on CL. Got it in Wallingford, Seattle. paint code 104 (Olive Green). Hence the name Walli's Dirti Martini that we came up with on the drive back to Olympia. Came with a New webber, matchbox dizzy, a extra unchipped front windshield, one stock rear window and a slider rear window, the bench seat, and some other stuff. Didnt get any pics loading it because I was in a tight little one lane street with cars parked on both sides having to block the road with the truck and the trailer jackknifed into the parking garage entrance. Was in a hurry...

snapped a couple at the first stoplight.




got it to my house with no issues.

yesterday, we investigated the "sticky/bent valve problem."

ummmm.... WTF!!! someone put a bolt that too long in the thermostat housing and it went into the timing chain guide...



sweet! its bent.



and worn into, so it was ran that way.


so off comes the head.



WTF IS THIS!!! this was in the #1 cylinder (valve problem area)...



its a ball of course stainless steel wool. Im guessing this cause the "valve problem" as its now a compressed ball with two flat sides. and its in between the size of a pea and a corn kernel. Dont think thats good for a motor... Also, whats wrong with the cam sprocket and bolt???
wtf...


I knew this truck was too good of a deal....

its now sitting in my garage awaiting for the judges ruling for its next sentencing. Wonder what the bottom end looks like, when the top end looks like that...




hhhmmmhmm.....

Damn.... well... damn lol

Good job on taking care of it. Sorry about your troubles. I've bought a few rigs like that before. Fucking previous owners....

Wellll shit......
