Datsun/Nissan L18 Engine

[randywanger_]

Hello there,

Does anyone have an L18 engine they'd like to sell me?

Thanks,

RW

Oh dear duuuuuuude

Yeah, bad news, piston 2 and 3 got a little bit hot, the rings have melted. The block is already bored to 89mm and it can't go any bigger.

Can it be sleeved?

I have one sat on my drive, on the verge of weighing it in. I'll see what shape it is in tomorrow as it's been uncovered for ages. Came out of my wagon for the ca18det to be fitted.

Awesome!!!! I may need one too so if anyone has another post here

I'm sorted thanks to damien4884

Thought you'd be going SR20 quackshot if you keep the 510. Back in the UK yet?

[quackshot]

I'm back yeah, just keeping my options open. A cheap 4 banger in the L18 or L20 form would be super quick and simple for me so if anyone else has something on their drive, let me know!

I have a engine hoist sat in my garage not doing a lot you can borrow if you need it when the time comes, I guessed you had one as the old one was out and being stripped.

Thanks for the offer, I striped the old engine in the car and lifted out the block. Wasn't too heavy. I'd need a hoist putting the engine in, so would appreciate that. How small does it pack down? I've only got an A1.

It's rather large............ Not sure how it would fit, it just about goes in my pt cruiser.
