Got what I thought was the familiar big end rattle, light load at 2,500 to 3,000 rpm. Took the sump off to confirm, only to find the following:

Can anyone point to current favoured supplier please ? I need 0.5mm BEs only for a CA

Thank you

I have a 205 amongst my collection. Bought it in pieces in 2006, re-assembled it, caged it, put Mi in it etc and used it as track car ever since, although it hasn't seen any action since I did the...

I had to modify the front panel section of the rear wheel well of a Bluebird arch to fit the Violet, as Scott just could not find one for the drivers side, absolute nightmare ! The bodyshop did an...

In which case if someone really wants brand new panels £500 seems like a very good price !

I think you are far too high on price. Can they still be bought from Nissan ?

The Datsun Violets I'm working on are practically exctinct compared to an S13 and yet we paid less than that for...

Well at least you dont have to worry about the front left wing, someone's done a mint job sorting that already...:wack: just needs a polish :smash:

We had the RB covers done for S15.3, we used the place mentioned in PPC mag, REALLY excellent quality crackle look.

tell us more...

Take the problem to Lance at OJZ in Retford, amazing quality stuff. Check out the manifold he created for our S15.3, headers welded to head plate in the correct way ;) and the inside is purged...

You've got a few bits missing there. Snap ring goes in the groove above the plastic then an internal circlip goes beneath that. Look at Page MT-9 of workshop manual.

You only need to remove the...

You would normally run-in on mineral oil, it should only take 20 miles for the rings to bed in, drop it out and change filter after 50miles or so, there are no definitive rules.

Read the cut and...

As Steve says, get proper lube, I've got a bottle of Torco MPZ lube, seems to have lasted ages, use a good blob and smear on any contacting surfaces.

Yes agreed, I had one that had had a chip taken out of the cap somehow.

After cleaning though I find they are pretty squishy, but once back in the engine and after priming and once running you can...

Lifters will only be ~hard during engine use when they have oil pressure in them, by their design.

Also, you can clean them yourself for very little cost. Just pull them apart and clean with...

You say you found a failed lifter, how had it failed ? where did the good replacement one come from ?

If you're already there in terms of taking the cams off then I'd take them all out, dismantle...

Bloodninja transcripts, funniest thing I read for a long time, reading in office not recommended...:notworthy

Finally my Microsleeve order arrives :)

Do they have any score marks ? I have a bunch of cams from various mileage engines, they're all scored plus I have a CA16 cam on the inlet so only need the exhaust cam.

I am intending to buy the...

Yes, possibly, but my new mandrel and pulley are very small diameter so I hope have less effect on things...I hope. I have removed the mass of one of the poly-v pulleys and the gear inside the oil...

Hmm, so they have their numbers mixed up ?! otherwise looks like I need to order a pair of E16 ones then. Will ring them from work on Tuesday to make sure I get 40mm ID ones. Thanks.

It's OK I'm not after any seals I have a few pairs in my stock from various head sets I have partly used, I just wanted to know if VG30 was the same size so I could order some bits.

I live right...

Excellent, thanks Alan, BTW I havent forgotten about drgs, Ive had the week off so when I get to work on Tuesday I'll get them sorted.

Dont worry about the actual dims, I just wanted to know the...

As per the subject, does anyone know the diameter of the VG30 cam where the oil seal fits ?

Is it the same size as a CA18 cam ? I have seen people post the dims of the CA18 cam seals (or front...
