Thanks very much for the guide Mildman, it's quite clear and easy to follow.

Big thanks to you Vixen, but I'll have to decline your very kind offer, I'm in the ACT.

Looks like I've got something to do next weekend! I can't wait. I'll get a mate over that's fairly confident in and around engine bays.

Where should I start looking to find the correct torque settings for all of the bolts? I've got some 4into1 extractors on the car is it still possible to pull the head off with both of the manifolds in place?

If you have a flange just past the collectors that can be unbolted then yes you can.

Mildman dont sand your engine block again because you cant get it flat that way.

Sound like it's done a gasket dont worry they only cost $14.

hey man If you want to do it on saturday I can come and give you a hand, I've even got a headgasket hanging on the wall for an A-series I dont have. I dont have a manual and would need one for torque settings.

PM me if you want.

Go to my Links page on the website - if you haven't bought a workshop manual yet - you can download the one I have on the website. I'd recommend buying one though for all of $10 of ebay. They have all the torque setting you'll need. Now you just need to buy a torque wrench...expensive.

Killer1200 - I didn't do that on a 'real' engine - it was just to clean it of rust to show what it was meant to look like. That was a throw away A12 block I used to train myself how to pull apart these engines and put them back together nicely.

Yes I agree don't sand your real engine block...bad things will happen, milkshakes may be made.

Unfortunatly there isn't a flange after the collectors, so it appears that it will have to come off anyway. They're a massive one piece design. Thanks mate. I think I'll have to support it somehow from underneath so I don't bend anything further down the exhaust. Does anybody else do this?

Mildman, do you mean this manual?
http://stars.studio-art-dept.com/Pictures/Automotive_pdf/DatsunSunnyB310WSManual.pdf
It appears to have torque settings listed in there, page 32. Are these the same for all of the A series engines?
Cylinder head bolts - 74Nm
Connecting rod nuts - 37Nm
Flywheel bolts - 88Nm
etc etc

Tyrie PM mate

You got it d1t - I've got a 1200, 120Y, Sunny manual the torque settings barely vary between the 3 A series motors.

If you aren't keen on buying one - you should be able to find them in most libraries too!

Hope you like the manual - you'll find it has been text recognised and is thus searchable too!
