Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my Blog devoted to the restoration of my 1972 Datsun 240z. I purchased it in 2013 and have been actively working on my driving-restoration, so I can enjoy the car rather than having it in pieces for years. Please enjoy the write-ups below, as well as the how-to's. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any comments or questions. Thanks. - Dave

Thermostat housing gasket

I think I found the last coolant leak on the engine. The thermostat housing always hisses when the car is turned off. I did unfortunately break a bolt off in the cylinder head!! Luckily I was able to get it out without drilling.

New gasket installed! No more hissing when I turn the car off & no more coolant leaks!

Housing and the (lack of) original gasket


Yes, I broke that bolt off in the head


Glad I had a couple spare bolts laying around
