I would say I'd go for making it a daily driver so full send the piston rings have sat for a long time so change the oil and run it will bring it around I love my nisson and you'll love yours

Talk less buddy work more You would thank me later

It's Alive!! maybe

The tech screws tho. No no no. I spent hours and hours pulling them out of my Land Rover. They weren't holding anything as they lose their grip fast and they did soooooooo much damage. Can we all agree to stop with the tech screws team? You could be the next guy...

I would say this engine had water in it and someone tried to start it and it was hydrolocked and bent the valves. Or drove threw a creek and got water in the intake. Just a guess. Good luck!

It'll be a really cool and useful truck when it's running, and you got it essentially for free. It's worth throwing some money at.

There's a massive 4×4 community in Australia and New Zealand that would love to watch you get this beast going again, nissans are big over here and this is a bit of a Holly grail vehicle, 4×4 manual king cab Datsun there wouldn't be many left at all of that model

Love your garage man!! Also. It all depends on the vehicle. But if the rings are stuck it won't have as much compression. The fact you went into it NOT KNOWING A THING. is what got my subscription. Excited to see more!!

Great work man, badass yuengling sign too

Newly subscribed just for this truck

Wiring can smell fear 😆

I found today out of curiosity for 400.00 at pick and pull. But I am a long way away from you. Check face book market place, for my old 1994 7.3 diesel 4x4 I got most of my hard to find parts there, pretty good prices too. Good video and channel Btw "Homie" lol :) Subed

YT just randomly suggested the first video on this Datsun. Love all the information and your chill demeanor. Probably the best automotive channel I've found since Pole Barn Garage. Also I kinda want one of these now (without bent valves lol)!

Ne3son lol

someone may have already commented, BUT those appear to be late 80's mustang (the turbine style set), and the other set were usually on mustangs, possibly thunderbirds! DIGGING your content!

A good trick for keeping your RTV fresh is chuck in in the fridge when your not using it, mine always lasts when I put it in the fridge haha

I've been wanting one of these little mini excavators for awhile now. Handy little machines

It sounds pretty good. Don't believe it's got a dead hole anymore!

Engines for those are dirt cheap my bro😊

I had an 84 with the 2.4 z motor super good little truck

And the land shall provide. Hoops and rims At least.

old video i know, but the spark plug is between the exhaust manifold and head

I think the rings need to come around. Those old nissans are pretty tough. I would just get her back together, get a boat tank, and run it longer to make sure the block is good. I know it's frustrating getting something going after sitting so long, but when it runs, it's so rewarding!

Thats a cool tooltruck you have use to drag The picup with

I would say the head has been skimmed and they didn't readjust the rockers so the valves would have been opening more then they should meaning a non interference engine would be a interference engine

That's cool you fired it.

I was a police man in South Africa in 1989 I had the single cab 4x4 1.8l as a patrol vehicle. It was slow as anything, heavy on fuel. But boy was that thing strong. Off road it was a dream, beach driving was not a problem. And yes, we had to patrol the beaches back then where I was stationed. Watching the video just brought back all those memories. Thanks

That mid 60s murray riding mower is quite a rare bird. Bring her back from the dead with a stronger engine. She will wheelie.

you have fallen off my recommendations and i really like this channel. so i'd suggest some shorts or something so you keep relevant my man.

Nice job! I'd try a boat gas tank and hook that up to the carb. Get it up to operating temp. Re check the torque on the head bolts when it cools. Then see how bad the carb is for a rebuild. It might be cheaper just to buy a chinesium carb off ebay? Sounds like it is hitting on all 4 to me. Double check your motor mounts, alot of rotation when it hit. I bet the compression comes around.

I used 2 have niian 720 nap z motor. We pulled out motor, rebuilt entire truck was modified. Motor was rebuilt Holley 3:90 4 barrel block bored out 50: thousands. 3 angle valve job shaved head stock 105 HP. Built 210 HP. 38: 12:50 swamper tires. 4"body lift, 4" lift. 5spd. Frame gussetted, double plate frame massive push bar bumpers front and back! Very quick, 4:11s fr & rear gears.

You got her running time to give it a wash let's see what she looks like

I had the opportunity to operate one of these last week. It was great for moving mulch but because of the way the joy sticks are I found it would be difficult to grade with because it’s hard to control the bucket and drive at the same time. Nothing like a bobcat or dingo

Hey if you keep getting all of these stray pound vehicles running , you are gunna run out of parking space 🤣🤣 but you are just pointing out that legends exist ………just keep it up cos I love your vids Cheers ,Ron (from down under )

These vids are coming along, man. Thanks for sharing this wholesome awesomeness. When I was back in Aotearoa/NZ recently (COVID refugee), I rescued a Toyota Hilux-a cool little rig and a fun project. The amount of work was similar to what you’re tackling now, though I reckon your's put up a bigger fight! She'll come around man. Now I’ve returned to Australia and broke as hell, so I’m rescuing only what I can get my hands on. Which means JUNK. So far, I’ve brought back to life a ‘76 Land Rover (great vehicle, but wouldn’t recommend), two Yamaha Viragos (honestly, the best bikes I’ve ever worked on), and now going through a ‘58 Vauxhall Victor F Series (the closest thing we have to a Chevy over here). True story you might enjoy: a few years ago, I was renting a place with this tiny, collapsing garage abandoned in the backyard. I used my Honda CRV (just picked an angle and pushed the nose to it and drove slowly in low ratio) to push the structure upright and hold it in place while I replaced the structural timber. Sketchy isn't even close. Then I sorted out the disappeared roof tin. Used found plywood and the cool-looking rusted roof tin I pulled off to line it (insulated even with some pink batts I found on the roadside-fancy af). I also installed a big, awesome window I picked up from a curb. I was an electrician in a former life, so I wired it out really nicely too. It turned out to be a great little workshop-just enough space for a small car and two bikes, vintage tools, a good bench, and an old record player. I should have made that one into a UA-cam vid for real.

My man is a valve lapping machine!

who doesnt love a 80s ratrod truck

Hydro locked thats just my guess they are known to be amazing motors from what i know about them

Some one floated the valves ..they ran the rpms to the moon and jumped time or stretched the timming chain and made it an interference engine

Congratulations on the WIN man! Looking forward to the next video!

Subscribed in the first minute. I'm more excited over well presented educational content than I am for some scripted entertainment. I love being able to understand the world around me and having people share the way they view the word. Seeing the world through others eyes is an amazing privilege (as humans) that we all get to share with each other.

The more you run it the better the valves should get

Way to go. It’s hard to explain the emotional highs and lows of being a DYI mechanic to someone that doesn’t work on cars.

14:06 Put the silicone in a vacuum sealed bag last for ever

They dropped the timing chain and then they put it back on too far out, piston came up, valves went down. boing splat.

Z24 Engine ?

looking at the rust line on the engine block I would say this engine (along with the vehicle it was attached to at the time) was in the water and got flooded out. The valve stems bent when someone tried to start the waterlogged engine.

Very KOOL Ryan Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
