  1. Ended up going with an Ebay set. $165.00 shipped for the set. NOS
  2. Parts are available, but over $200 for the set....!? Is a little steep.
  3. They are straight, but that angle of each end are different. I'm going to try and use a 720, it looks to be adjustable.
  4. Let me know if the list below looks good. I'm using 1980 720 parts. RA seems to have everything in stock. How many set of bushings would be required? ENERGY SUSPENSION 913101R Red; Tie Rod Dust Boot; Pack of 2 Info Round Style; Largest Dia. Taper 0.59 in./15mm; Socket Top Dia. 1-3/8 in./35mm MEVOTECH MES2473R {#4852101W00, ES2473R} Supreme Info - 2X Front Inner; RWD DELPHI TA1538 {#4852001G25, 4852041W00} Info - 2X Outer; RWD MEVOTECH MES2050S {#4851228501, ES2050S} Supreme Info - 2X Front; RWD
  5. That’s what I’m thinking. Making my own. Parts stores want $90+ or $110+ for the left complete. Rock auto only has the rights.
  6. Can anyone tell me why the left sides are unobtainium? Would it be easier to build a custom set?
  7. WORK CRAG I just got the same ones off ebay a few weeks ago. Mine are 15x7

    Thanks Mike! The webcamshaft is for a Naps Z motor, but if you're saying the cam is fine, I'm going to leave it. just replace the gaskets. I have the chain blocked with a pice of wood. I have to exchange my gaskets that I got from RockAuto. Weird thing on their website. I order 1980 720 2.0L 4cyl gasket set. (not the right one). Then I checked the other years, 1981 & 1982 doesn't show a 720 4.0L 4cyl option. I have to go with 1983. NOt sure if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks again for the help Mike!

    Took the head off. There was a major oil leak coming from the gasket. Wanted to check the cam. There is some odd wear on a section of the shaft that doesn't come in contact with anything. Can someone tell me if this is ok? There is some uneven edges, it's not on the lobe. Is this something to be worried about?

    Started ordering some parts & tools this week. Gaskets, carb rebuild kit, intake manifold, looking and getting headers and a mild cam. I KNOW, I KNOW.... the NAPS Z20 isn't made for performance, I know that the valves are so close that they may touch if the cam is too aggressive, but as long as I'm doing a valve job, I figured now is my chance to do any internal upgrades. I was looking at the following. webcamshafts Grind #158i [/url]">http:// Comp CamsGrind# 260S [/url]">http://http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/BenFoOw/media/Datsun%20521/COMP%20CAM_zpsumsurde3.png.html'>
  11. Hey morfeas. Great topic. I also have a Z20 motor I'm working on. I'm hoping that I don't have to mess with the block at all. I will probably be doing a valve job. Are you going to put all of the stock components back in? I was thinking about putting in a mild cam, Weber carb, headers exhaust. I'll be following this topic as a reference for my build.

    Took off the cover. [/url]">http:// Took off the oil pan. There is some rubbing from the tie rod & crossmember [/url]">http:// I can't tell if that's paint or oil residue. Either way, I'll clean it out. if I can still use this oil pan. [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// Wanted to check out the bearings on the crankshaft. Only took off 1. I am going to wait until I get a torque wrench. to check all of the bearings. I'll make sure to mark the configuration of off of the bearing locations. The one that I did take off, looked good. It's still shiny. There doesn't seem any deep scratches. Everything was still lubricated.
