RedBanner Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 U67's have big valves, I would not be suprized if they hit the side of the cylender head and caused the cam to brake, considering the l16 bore is so much smaller. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I run a L20 U67 head L16 block and a 460 lift cam. Should be no proplems unless huge cam get a breaker bar and put the socket on the crank and turn it in nuetral. if dont turn and its binding then you did soemthing wrong or something went bad.

RedBanner Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 "How to hot rod your datsun" had stated that the big valves , like in the u67, could come.in contact with the top lip of the bore if it was a stock bore, and they cover how to clearence the deck for it. Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 When you are up against a tough one, you have to step back and start verifying things from the very beginning. Binary tests with yes-no results will figure out this problem. Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Soooo, what happened with your engine? Was it clearance or was there an assembly issue? Or... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 U-67 on an L16 only gives a compression of 6.72. Get rid of it and get a stock 210 head. Not the first snapped cam I've seen. Daniel, warped is a good call.... metal fatigue. When milling a head always torque it down and see if the cam will spin by hand before installing the rockers. The head has to come off anyway so time to get a 210 on it. . Pull it before breaking something. As said the U67 is too low a compression anyway. People thropw away 210 heads, get one and on the road you go. Quote Link to comment
BigBlack620 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 lol ... a little late, but I ended up throwing a N58 head on it and Vrooom, good as new ... then I sold it for pretty good coin, and bought a 73' 610 coupe Quote Link to comment
BigBlack620 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I laugh now that I look back at this, and my fit I threw ... I've learned so much since then Quote Link to comment
