Is that even possible?

Yeah just took a break. Had some pizza straight off of the combustion chamber. The carbon kinda gave it a char-broiled taste.

Yup, the diagram on realoem and in my book I was following both showed the recessed side on the retainer facing the rocker, however that is not how it goes, I learned the hard way

I'm suprised they even held the retainer down being upside down like that. But I got all mine in without issue. Besides that I managed to lose one for about 45 minutes only to find it under the spring it belonged to.

These should hold the oil where it belongs a little better than the crumbly ones


springs going back in!




And all done. Another time-eater involved me putting one of the rocker shafts in backwards... but I didn't notice until it was completely installed. These heads are a little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it they're not so bad.


Now I just have to adjust the valves and I can move on to the block. Sorry if these engine updates are boring... I swear it's going to get good soon.

Looking good man. Can't wait to see her back on the road.

[C-Hutch]

Me either dude! Feels like it's been forever now.

You work fast! Any big plans for that M10 other than the carbs?

Well it's only getting a single Weber 32/36 down draft for now just for simplicity and money's sake. Depending on how it does, I'd like to eventually either swap up to twin 45 DCOE's or do a down draft 40/40 with a push-through turbo setup. Something about turbo and carbed together. So unreliable... so expensive... it would have to be fast.

The head is done. Valve clearances are all in spec, cam gear is on, sprayer bar is in. Pretty happy with the results considering the only new parts are the valve guide seals and the cam gear. The valve seats looked great and it had very little carbon buildup throughout. Minimal wear on the cam and rockers. Should do just fine.



Tomorrow, I tackle the block. Then it's all downhillish from there.

Don't do a blow through turbo system you get major issues with boost leaks in carbs. if you want any ides look at the Garage Autohero Datsun 510. Rob uses a T3 and a single sidedraft carb, I think it;s a Zenith.

[C-Hutch]

That's way down the road. If I do decide to go turbo, I'll be doing a lot more research about it when the time comes.

[CB7_luver]

Motor work is coming along nicely!!
