Yes sir, that's an e10 aka Cherry. You're wacky eyes didn't deceive you this time.

Quality of workmanship A++, nice job

thats a mad setup...i like it...wat datto is it in? cos the enigne goes east-west...i wonder...

Isn't front wheel drive blasphamy????

Yepp, this is a fwd Datsun E10 from 1974, comes stock with a A10 engine DIN 59hp...
It weights only 680kg so you don

why is there 2 breathers on the rocker cover, did you modify it?

and how did you get the breather pipe out of the block, i tried on a spare motor today, hitting it with a hammer to loosen it but it just started deforming the pipe

The rockercover is from a Datsun 140A Cherry and it comes with two breathers! The breather pipe from the block came out easily but sometimes they are stuck like as they were welded!!!

to get the preather pipe out of the block I used a pair of Stilsons and a pair of pliers, I tunred the pipe with the stilsons and pulled it outwards with the pliers, and slowly it came out

It's so clean! Love the work. If anyone hasn't checked out this guys website go give it a look... nice page with lots of buildup pics and information.

Wait until you see the last years buildup pics that soon will be added to my homepage..... I have over 200 pics from the buildup of the turboenginesetup on the pic!!

Sounds like me... about 200 pics of my buildup too but I've still got a long way to go on the body etc. Unfortunately I'm internet challanged so I can't figure how to make a website that I'd be happy with.

i was just looking through and saw stuff bout block breather do u take this out when u mount a breather in the rocker cover?
if so what do u plug it with or wateva u do ?

I don

still love to know how to get that breather out, i did try on a spare motor but just started to squash the bugger

mine Met with a friend i call a hack saw i couldnt get it out either!

I've removed at least three of the breather pipes using the method that i had described in an earlier post. No real problem with those ones. All were 1200 engines.

was that the tapping with a hammer method?, thats the one i tried

anyway im going to bed, ill search for it later

cya fellas

If you were squashing it, then you were NOT tapping it.
Tap it with a soft hide or copper hammer if you can find one. Tap it all around in a circular pattern, you know, up, down, left, right blah blah. You are only trying to get it to move a little.

Once it has loosened enough to move it by hand, then wrap one or both hands around it, & work it slowly at first. [this is where i got into strife again] Work it in any pattern that includes most cardinal points of the compass while exerting some outward pressure. As it gets near to the end of its spigot you can get a little more frantic with smaller moves & it should come out right in your hand.

Well, it worked for me.

YES this is EXACTLY what i have done before too. - Great description Dodgeman !

have any of u ever thought of heating the sorrounding area with a butane torch? i used this method to get the little cylindrical block out of my rear brake adjusters. and they were rusted bloody tight im sure it would work the same.
