Marcus's right about the bolts, but I've had a head gasket fail after a retorque. Having said that, it was probably 25 years old, but when I retorqued it, the water jacket failed to the OUTSIDE of th

It's not the rubber that's the problem, it's the hard plastic. And it's a sheath around a steel line. Lore has it that it decays and excretes an acid that corrodes the steel lines; certainly, it trap

I'm starting a similar excercise with the race car (non- Datsun) The SHORT version is that you want 60- 70% of the braking force in front. Slightly longer is that you want some adjustability. Much m

I'd actually argue, that if you get the alignment of the new clip RIGHT, it's better to clip it than to panel it. Fitting a panel is a lot of work, and the factory way was old- world- lots of welds a
