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

Cylinder Head

So its finally time to work on the Cylinder Head.  The main work will be farmed out to a machine shop, but I did start to pull the studs out.  Stay tuned for a set of  "after" pictures.




 








After about a week, I got my cylinder head back from the machine shop.  It looks great and I can't wait to get it back on the car.  Full valve job, machined surfaces, new valve seals, and new intake valve seats (hardened steel).  The guys at Per Race Engines (http://per-race-engines.com) did a great job.
