Congratulations, I just installed an L28 that I just overhauled for my 73 240Z. I went old school and removed EFI system that came with the engine and installed 4 screw round tops that were on the L26 that was removed. very smooth, lots of power. it will be lots of fun once its broken in.

If you milled the head, and then restored the combustion chamber volume with material removed from it as well, the effect on compression ratio should be negligible (technically zero if the combustion chamber volume was truly brought back to original spec, which seems difficult to do without removing a ton of material). Also, really cool job with the video editing. The time lapse shots of stuff screwing in and rotating is always kind of relaxing to watch in a weird way. Definitely appreciated that effort on your part!

Thanks Ian, Those edits can take a while to make but they are worth all the time for the final product. Good catch, I did the math and my compression increased only .1. ~SG#7

I see you’re porting with a carbide burr, the one shown is more for steel and iron, the ones made for aluminum have fewer cutting edges so they “clean out” better.

Great great "EDIT" voice over dub is THE ONLY WAY to get work done and video record it. Good job. My only suggestion is the higher out put oil pumps were used because it feed a turbo and oil cooler. Since you live in the North Not really much need for the cooler . But your built for it .That will always help any motor. The added pressure / volume in a standard motor just makes the motor work a little harder than it needs to with no place to go, for the oil. Great build SO MANY have learn mechanical skills on a Z. It's a true Sports Car that is only going up in value. Enjoy your well researched work. I'm building 2 @ once. But I've built many in the past. Great job !

Sick video reminds me of last year when I rebuilt my L28, I just finished modifying my L28 to NA-T with megasquirt and multi coil ignition last week
@robertcabrera6232 Жыл бұрын
Please explain to me why you added shims that weren't originally present to the rocker towers? Because I don't understand. The L26 has an overhead cam engine, not pushrods. You decked the head surface facing the cylinders, so cam to rocker geometry wasn't changed by machining. In a pushrod engine machining either mating surface of the head or the block has the effect of lengthening the pushrods, thus changing the rocker to valve geometry, but this doesn't matter on overhead cam engines. Now if you had to take a bit of material out of the valve seats to get them to seal properly that would change geometry, because the valve stems would be sticking out further, but that has nothing to do with decking the head or the block.

Engine rebuilds can definitely be daunting to start, but by making progress (albeit sometimes small progress) each day/week it will surely get done. I wish you the best of luck on the vd30dett!! I wish I had a turbo, I dream of bolting one to my L26. ~SG#7

what about the huge exhaust leak and the whiney differential after your rebuild
@ElItExMrE3 жыл бұрын
Exhaust and muffler weren't installed in the first part of the video. Later on however, I welded the exhaust together to get rid of that sound. The differential is a project for WAYYY down the line, I'm not living near the Z anymore so it's hard to dump money into her.

I kept the original front crankshaft and camshaft bolt. I thoroughly inspected the threads for damage. One thing I wish I replaced was the damper pulley. The rubber inbetween the pulley and shaft slipped and I no longer know what the timing is set at. Learn from my mistakes, thank you for viewing, Alex.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never seen anyone crosshatch cylinders with soapy water, usually just engine oil. It seems like it would take away more material, faster. If anyone has done both and has seen a difference, please let me know.
