I've been told that the 180B Timing Chain Cover is the same as the L6 cover.

Is this so?

Does anyone know of any other motors that have the same part.

I'm reason I'm asking is because on my L24E the water pump area is corroded out really badly. I need to fix a large pinhole (second one since I've had her) and will have to build up the corroded areas with weld but I'm told that there is not enough good metal left to weld onto. The welding shop guy easily pushed a scriber through the casing in about 5 areas whilst we were assessing what to do.

All the wreckers near me have not got any L6 parts that are usable but one says that the 180B motor and maybe the 1.6 & 2ltr ones are the same. I'm waiting for him to show me one to compare.

Thanks

Wardie

I think you'll find that any L series timing cover except L20B will do the job . To spell it out dont try L/Z or KA . All L's except L20B use same block height . I can't say for sure with LD28's but the rest of the L's should fit . Most common these days will be L16 , L18 , L24 and L28 . The only vsignificant difference will be the distributor mount adapter .

PS am seeing Mr L series tonight , will confirm tomorrow .

The LD28 is quite different due to not having a distributor...

The LD is also a 'mid' block (as per L20B), but not as tall as the Z24.

In short, the L14/16/18/20/24/26/28 run the same cover (and most other parts).

Thanks Guys,

I got one off a L18 and when comparing it to my original was amazed by how much meat was missing from mine.

I put it back together and she ran like a three legged dog, missing on one cylinder. Mucked around checking compression, leads, timing, valve clearances and anything else I could think. Eventually I narrowed it down to #2 pot after I did a run and pulled the plugs, #2 was wet and dirty. Swapped out the lead, swapped the dizzy cap, swapped injectors with another pot. Eventually put one of the old plug set back in and she fired on all straight away. I wasted 2 days because I never thought a new plug could be faulty. DOH!!!!

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
