Besides, I like to do everything in my power to help A series power make it's way into every make and model ever.

PM me an address and I'll post ya one for nothin

are they new pistons and pins or just the rings&bearings?

The Datsun 1200 ute I drive is a direct imitation of an Austin, and the J15 in it is almost an Austin A40 engine. It was a good place to start for Datsun at the time, so you cant give the old British cars too much curry.
From little things, big things grow.

thanks dd

Cheers Dave

I've got a short motor in toowoomba if you want the whole thing.
minus one piston.

Had a similar experiance with my B120 ute when I was living in Brisbane, It had been off the road for 4 years, had just finished painting it and refitting everything, including the A15, all it needed was the exhaust, so I took the plates off the Camry, drove it to the exhaust shop, got the new pipes fitted, and was about 400m from home when I got pulled over. The first thing he said was, 'thats a funny looking red camry wagon!!' The second thing he said was that he had one of these as his first car. We spent about a half hour yacking about what I had done to it, then he told me to piss off home and not do it again.

I've broken one previously.
It's only a (10mm)? bolt to pull the speedo drive from gearbag to check it out, and the gears only made of plastic.
Probubly pick one up from the wreckers for nothing.
