Hi,

This link was posted a while back by 'alexunder'. http://xenons30.com/reference.html

First link on that page is:

Model L20A, L24 Series Engine Service Manual- Complete 10.9MB PDF

It's an old manual but has pics of the timing chain and tensioner on several pages.

Am I missing something here?

To me it doesn't matter a toss where the chain is mounted because the timing marks are on the sprokets, not the chain. The chain is simply the tool that connects the 2 (camshaft & crankshaft sprokets) together.

I'm using an Kameari hardened chain & Kameari adjustable chain tensioner and I can assure you, there is no shiny links in the Kameari chain whatsoever, not even the joiners.

And the timing marks must be set with the engine at TDC on #1 cylinder.

I think u might be im not sure? :bunny: have a look on the service manual in first quote, open service manual, scroll down to page 59, left column #17 and read the *note*

I think Ghostrider is in the same boat as me...

the shinny links are of no importance if the bottom and top are on TDC... I guess they just help you confirm that you have it set right, and I guess further down the track might help you know if the chain has slipped or something...

I think they are only important when assembling the engine without the timing case on, so you don't know for sure that the bottom is on TDC...

You don't need to change the castor rod brackets to adjust the caster, just make the current rods adjustable by cutting the thread longer and adding an extra nut...

sorry had too!

now ill have to do a oil flush with new oil/filter and prob do the auto at the same time

any reccommendations on oil but no castrol, etc crap?

also with the auto is there such a thing as filter replacement? similar to a vn's auto service kit?

gawd.... just go into repco and ask for the filter kit, its like under $30

oil, depends on the km of the engine, and what your plans are. ask the repco dude...

its ok getting everything ordered through workshop next door so everything will be done by Wednesday

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
