okay, so ive decided to do a tear down of the engine just because. seemed like front cover was leaking oil, had some residue build up. timing seemed good. planning to just tear down the engine replace all the gaskets and seals, replace timing chain/tensioner, waterpump and pretty much clean it all up. got a lot of parts to clean now, lol. probably start with the trans tommorow.
oh yeah, made a table to work on, should be easier to organize and work now :P |

Just something for you to think about. You may want to replace the oil pump and regulator valve set prior to installing the engine back into the car. Got these from the Nissan dealer for around $60.00. I rebuilt a '97 block w/87K miles and replaced the pump and regulator valve anyway cause you never know what the last guy did(or never did) to it!! Cheap insurance considering how much oil pump failure would cost in the long run!!! Here are the part numbers: Oil gear set: 15020-53F25 Regulator valve set: 15132-77A25 If you decide to get these, make sure they order the DOHC parts. First time I ordered them, they shipped the SOHC!! then had to wait another week for the correct parts.

Hey, we will be coming back to the Big Island in October for about 2 weeks. If you want me to bring some stuff for you email or PM me. Nothing too heavy cause the airlines are charging extra if your bags are overweight.
Amy just went to Chicago for the NPC Jr. Nationals and we had to pay an extra $85.00 cause her suitcase was 25lb over the max. We will be in Kona for most of the time and the kids wanted to stay at my moms house in Kamuela for a little while. Let me know!!

ok, finally repaired the frame rail. took me forever and a half. just needs to be grinded down and some paint/undercoating. heres some pics:
also decided to paint the calipers... i know red is overated, but i like it, so thats how itll be. got one of these knobs for the handbrake... lol k, thats all for now. i think ill be updated more often now... that frame rail put me in lag mode or something. everytime i looked at it i was like "ugh... ill do it later" lol Last edited by jon_mr2; 03-26-2009 at 09:48 PM.. |

did you get upper and lower timing chain and tensioners and guides? make sure you replace them.. i see box but im not too sure if you have everything...be prepepare to replace the some of the hose there.. mine just broke when i pulled the front timing chain cover.. make sure you remove all the silicone on the cover and engine and put a nice bead of gasket to seal it...

AC wont help much... unless you want to let the car sit for a good 10 minutes before driving it. I have some cheap one I bought from AA thats black... The best to do is just not keep your hand on it. lol

Needless to say I don't burn my hand anymore. Nice build btw. I wish I had enough free time to do this. Plus having a second car to drive when mine is torn apart would help too. |

got something nice in the mail today. candy apple red powdercoated valve cover, with polished letters. pictures really dont do it justice. but yeah, id like to thank fromxtor for the paintjob.
also, got sick of the steering rack being super stand out silver, so got some cast iron paint and redid it, i like it a lot better this way. plus i forgot to put some lock-tite stuff. so, it had to come apart. id like to get more work done this weekend. new goodies make me very motivated. |
