That's why I wanted another engine....I really don't want to rebuild an old engine.... I'd really like to find an old car still running for the engine... But I don't know what car to chase down...

I pulled the plugs out & found cylinders 2 & 4 full of water...after blowing out the water I put a cap full of oil in all the cylinders then put tension on the crankshaft and tail shaft/drive shaft with 3 foot stilson and a fence strainer because I don't have a chain block.... I'll see if anything happens.....

What other engines will this gearbox fit if I can't get it going and can't get another L26 ???

Could you elaborate a little bit more for me please as I'm not familiar with anything Nissan... Thanks for the input so far....much appreciated...at least I have that engine number you supplied.. Cheers

I am certainly going to try to get the original engine going as it will be easier than having to source a new one not knowing what sort of Nissan this engine came out of.... Thanks for responding

Needing help resolving a problem....I have just inherited a saw bench operated by a 6 cylinder L26 engine and gearbox, but the engine seems seized....I haven't looked into what's wrong yet as I have no knowledge of these engines or gearboxes, but I'd like to know what would take its place if it's a boat anchor...
