1989 Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo, 1988 Nissan B11 Van

A little update on this... Had a few problems of late, got them all sorted now.

Firstly, the head gasket went. The engine was a little tired, low compression and a bit smokey, so rather than replace the gasket, take the engine out : )



Then mess about for a bit



Find a new one



And bung it in



Job Done! errrr or maybe not, the danger of buying an engine without hearing it running. Ran a compression test, down on two cylinders. took the head off, cracked : (



A couple of heads later found a good one. So, skimmed and pressure tested



Fastened it back on - managed to source a piper cam from s120c too, so put that in at the same time : )



And after much messing about, it works! And looks good without a bonnet on I reckon...





Just in time for the retro rides gathering. Chuffed.
