What if the guide isn't there?

One side has enough slop to hit the timing cover. This motor has had no maintenance EVER. It is going to be replaced. Thank you for replying.

Very helpful thank you

What is the proper deflection on a 1979 2.0 timing chain? I removed the valve cover to find a beautiful valve train free of sludge, but a chain I'm unsure if it needs to be changed.

Thank you.

Do the door lock rods interchange between 1979 to 81 Datsuns. Found a shockingly nice 81 pick up in the scrap yard want to know what i might be able to take from it to fit my truck. Nothing big just small pieces.

Nothing local but we're getting rid of our smog pump.

Didn't even think to try it with the doors closed. Dumb.

Hello I've recently purchased a 1979 620 in rather dismal shape. I am going to need a lot of help to bring it back to life. My question to you folks is about door lock actuation. the locks on my truck will not engage. I've taken the panels off and reconnected the door handle rod that had fallen off. The lock rods are still connected but won't go up and down. Common issue? idea for fixes? I found this board through Google and it has been very helpful so far.Thank you.
