Much thanks ddgonzal! The following is a continuation of the previous questions....
1. Is there a link on this forum for measuring CC?
2. Replace crankshaft main bearings? Do the piston rods have bearings and replace them as well?
3. OK
4. OK
5. Measured 11mm. So go ahead with swapping out the A12 gears and chain? Should I replace the tensioner?
6. OK
7. http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... ?title=Valve_springs...is this the link for checking the springs?
8. OK. I would expect to replace valve guides but will use the method described on the link. I did use a straight edge and couldnt see any gaps. It looked real flat. Will get a more accurate straight edge and use the feeler gauge test. Does the rocker assembly require anything?
9. OK
10. OK
Do I take the engine block to a machine shop and have them dip it into a solvent tank to clean the inside? Will that harm the cam bearings?
Also........I have been rummaging salvage yards in the North Texas area and came across a cylinder head from a 1974 B210 car (80 HP engine). I know about the H72 head but this one has 4 digits H7240. Does this mean anything? My intentions are to accumulate hard to get Datsun parts that are worthy in the event I want to take on another project. There aren't many Datsun cars left.
