I had to get the grinder out in the end, it was not going to move. That did the job, took a while, that will teach me to change it when the belt is due..

Congratulations and what better way to drive off in a 300ZX.

Well what a day, made a cog puller, but bent 2 heavy duty pullers trying to free the cog. So tomorrow the grinder is coming out wasted to much time already. I did manage to change and clean one valve cover, gasket was hard with age, not soft. Maybe I should try and drill and split, rather than the grinder.

Interesting will have a look around the garage, my friend is bringing his tap set. Thanks

It’s the cog I’m having trouble with, need to change the seal.

Not a good day today. Went to local parts shop they did not sell water hose, for the bypass. Tried to get crank cog off, would not budge. Tried to get bushes out of the suspension they would not budge. Did manage to clean up the plenum a bit. I did buy some brake cleaner, really good for getting the oil off everything.

Hi guys has anyone got any PCV hoses that I can have, buy or replace, I’m looking at a 3 week wait for ordering some. Thanks Tony

Absolutely knackered now, finally got the plenum off, what a pig everything was hard to get undone, especially the water pipes at the back they had welded themselves onto the pipes. Crank cog not moving oh what fun. :no: Not looking forward to tomorrow so much to do.

Hi well after moving and a week of terrible weather, I finally went back to see my car yesterday and get on with fixing it, bit of a mess when I went to the garage. Great start, half an hour later. I used the old air con belt and a pair of grips, worked well and crank bolt was undone. Made sure the timing was set, and started to loosen the cam bolts.

Yes nice we are on the list, not sure about other Jap cars but parts prices and only a few specialists will put a lot of people off buying one. Not Me.

I’m doing the gaskets and deletes at the moment, very labour intensive and you need to know what you are doing. Have a look at some plenum pull documents, should give you an idea of how hard it is and work needed and if you like a real challenge.

Thanks Jeff Will try and get a refund.
