Re: Rear Crank Seal Question

Image They are L shaped and Nissan only put them on one corner at the back. I had an extra. You have to trim one as they overlap.

If there are a lot of miles on the pilot bushing and the release bearing, now's the time to replace them.

Re: Rear Crank Seal Question

Can't see the engine plate. Is it there?

No one has mentioned a bad oil pan gasket.

Re: Weird clutch actuation problem

It can make sense. We've eliminated everything from your foot to the clutch arm as being at fault. What's left? well everything out of sight... the pressure plate and or the clutch disc. If the disc is damaged or de-laminating it could be rubbing the pressure plate or the flywheel. I've had one of t...

Re: LED H4 bulbs

$47.99 you get what you pay for. Keep that in mind. 24,000 lumens is 18 amps of current through a 10 amp fuse????? (assuming the highest efficiency of 110 lumens per watt (it ranges down to 75) that's 218 watts or 18 amps at 12v) So this must be for 2? bulbs? well that's 9 amps each and as the headl...

Re: Weird clutch actuation problem

Check the carpet up under the dash for wetness. Is the slave push rod adjusted? Has the lock nut loosened? The slave push rod should be capable of moving 1.18" when clutch pedal is depressed. Check this when cold in the morning when you usually have this problem. If moving 1.1" then not th...

Re: LED H4 bulbs

All headlights that are LED or HID are in projector style rather than reflector housings with a severe cut off called a shutter to protect oncoming traffic. H4 bulbs only rely on a small shield to shade the light. In all cases the 4 or 5 times brighter light leaks around this and is still too bright...

Re: Weird clutch actuation problem

Is the clutch reservoir full?

Does the clutch reservoir need topping up? or is it using fluid?

When the clutch master was replaced was it 'bench bled' first?

Re: California Fires

I choose to live here and am aware of the environment as are those in California, or they should. Hot, dry, wind and fires are the norm there and always have been. Hard to live in any environment and not add to the problem.

Re: TELEGRAPH COVE FIRE

Do they still flush toilets onto the tracks? In '75 I traveled from Revelstoke to Ontario. When flushed the bottom of the toilet opened and you could see the ties flying by. The sign said 'do not flush in station'. No shit!

Re: MSD no spark issues

Points dizzys get play because of the stiff spring. Matchbox shafts just spin, there's no side load. A good ground is absolutely essential. The module has to be tightly screwed to the distributor case and the distributor firmly bolted down to ground it. Later EI distributors have a dedicated ground ...

Re: TELEGRAPH COVE FIRE

Was there several times in the '90s on a survey crew to work on a future marina? and sometime in the '00s my daughter took me whale watching in kayaks. No whales. It's a quaint little place. Also drove up from Woss on logging roads past Bonanza lake to the Cove. Sad, but I'll remember it the way it ...
