Rotorimp Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Thanks for the complements! I got all the suspension back in the car and it was soo worth the effort! the car handles much better now. I still have all the steering linkage to replace but I am waiting on the idler arm to arrive and I drive this car every day so I didn't want to leave it all apart. Quote Link to comment
floyd17 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 CLEAN!! Looks great man. Looking forward to watching your project! Quote Link to comment
Rotorimp Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 It has been cold lately and I can't say that the 210's heater has been up to par....... Since it never seems to warm up this fall I took of the housing this weekend. Sure enough a p.o. had touched things they shouldn't have. Please don't do this kind of maintenance..... I did clean up the housing...it had quite a bit of pitting and I had to be fairly generous with the gasket maker. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Crazy! That will prevent the thermostat from doing its job. One very small hole in the top would do the job. Quote Link to comment
Will Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Crazy! That will prevent the thermostat from doing its job. One very small hole in the top would do the job. I've seen people leave the thermostat out entirely, but never seen someone break the thermostat and then re-install it! Quote Link to comment
0r0B210 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I've seen people leave the thermostat out entirely, but never seen someone break the thermostat and then re-install it! I think, if you have a crank pulled fan, it would be better to leave it in (un-drilled), but if you have an electric fan motor leaving it out would not be an issue. I have had vehicles where I just remove the pesky critter because of a fan clutch pulled fan or electric fan motor, but I highly recommend adding a water wetter additive in the coolant to prevent the antifreeze from boiling. Currently, I run a crank pulled fan in my B so I will deal with the thermostat installed (160 degree thermostat). If I had all new gaskets I would run a 180-195 degree thermostat, but don't want my little guy running too hot. Never heard of drilling a thermostat, but I have to say that it is interesting. If I were to do that, i would drill a 1/16 size hole. Quote Link to comment

Rotorimp Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks for the complements! Car is down right now for a 5$ throttle cable...... at lease Rock Auto came through..in fact it cost more in shipping that it did for the cable. Quote Link to comment

Rotorimp Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I have been needing to adjust the valves on the 210 for a while. they definitely needed it! 4 of the measurements were way off! Quote Link to comment
Rotorimp Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 And I can't leave things alone!!! I started by cleaning the valve cover and it didn't clean up as much as I like, annnnnd I happen to have some Datsun Blue. So I started by bead blasting the cover. Quote Link to comment
Rotorimp Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 It came out pretty well. In this first picture I had not put the clear on yet. Here it is installed! Runs and looks much better! 1 Quote Link to comment
Rotorimp Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Been driving the piss out of it lately....turn signals have been acting up/ flasher seems to be having an issue. Not entirely sure it is the switch-turn signal works turning right but not left...... I don't want to shell out $$ for a new turn signal switch. Quote Link to comment
COOCHaDAMus Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I plan on a rolling resto for my B210. It is in good shape. Here are a couple shots right after I brought it home. no rust, ya did good. Quote Link to comment
