Weekend projects on the 240

[AZhitman]

This weekend should be a busy one...

Replacing radiator, thermostat, temp sensor and flushing the block... Installing BRM catback and HotShot header, flushing the transmission, replacing the pan gasket and filter and adjusting the timing.

Fun fun fun!

Wow that sounds liek one helluva weekend to come.

Gonna take any pics to let us see how it all goes?

I'd like to see the flushing of the block myself.

i was wondering how does a thermostat go bad i mean its just a sealed diaphram thingy filled with expandable wax right?

its on my list of things to service on the 20k remnufactured engine now thats is out of the car. gotta scrap the heap first though.

heres my list in order of what i think ill realistically accomplish. probly take me 9 times longer than hitman

degrease remove corrosionswap out corroded brackets & pulleyswater pumpswap out oil panswap out egrswap out solenoidsthermostatreplace any cracked hosesclean and lube all connectorspaint block and valve coverreplace starter brusheshave flywheel resurfacedclean intake manifold have it polished

it's also has a loaded spring. eventually that spring will give out on its tensile strength.

i've been considering a block flush too, but i've drained the radiator and most of the block a lot recently with the turbo removals and whatnot, that i don't think i really need to at this point in time

my project is to let my car sit and rot away like it has for the past 6 months

[Hijacker]

it's been sitting there for longer than six months

with the condition the car is in right now, only a junkyard would take it. The interior is out, the engine is slowly getting worked on, and the car was primered black, but has since faded to a light greyish.

When I was new into the car scene, I got gung ho about working on it and got in over my head...

Now I'm slowly working on getting the KAE going until I can afford an SR swap. I am bringing it to a friends house along with a new OEM rocker panel to weld that in place, I am welding up the hole in the roof, and I am painting it Nissan Super Black when school starts.
