toddmull Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I just got a 1986 720 4X4. It has the fuel injected engine (pics to come later). It is non street legal and will be used strictly as a deer lease truck. It has 122,000 miles on it and appears to be all stock except for the lift. So far I haven't had any problems with it but wanted to join this forum for when I do! 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Welcome to Ratsun Todd. Now, first thing..... the Z24 is well known for blowing the head gaskets at 100K so time to have the head bolts re-torqued. It's really simple to do or have done. On a a COLD engine take the valve cover off and loosen ONE bolt only. Now tighten to 60 ft lbs. Now move to the next bolt. You can do in any order you like but only ONE bolt must be loose at a time. Done, put valve cover on. That was easy. Nissan recommends doing this every tune up or... once a year. That looks about right for the lift on a 720 4x4. Nice truck. 2 Quote Link to comment

toddmull Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks for the head bolt advice. I'll do it on my next trip to the deer lease. I can't park the truck at my house to work on it due to Homeowner Association restrictions so i only get to mess with it in short bursts. This truck was sitting in a field for about 4 years until the owner decided to sell it. When I bought it I installed a new battery, new air filter, new antifreeze, and changed the oil. It starts right up and runs well though. I will take pics of the engine and interior next time I'm up there and post them. Somebody might see something that needs immediate attention. 2 Quote Link to comment
toddmull Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 What size (diameter) is the rubber fuel line that connects to the electric fuel pump? Quote Link to comment
toddmull Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Some engine pics and interior. This is a deer lease truck, so the inside is a little rough. Quote Link to comment
