SOB's, Are the Jap L20B mold castings different to the Oz blocks. If so how do you tell them apart. I realise there is some confusion over which car has what. I just after spotters/ sticky beck info, thats all. Currently running a internally standard 84 series 2 bluebird motor in a 1600 race car. Also have to fix the sister inlaws ca20 series 3 bluebird blown head gasket. According to SOB's the best of both worlds, NOT! Respectful of SOB's Trev -=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=- Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2000 17:49:17 +1000 From: Peter Parry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------------------- MAL Nissan aus spent a shit load of cash on a casting plant here and with their usual sucess rate stuffed up big time ' All the L20b blocks cast were soft and required reboring after a short time I would imagine that some early 810 blocks were imported as these seemed to take a hone and rings instead of a rebore. To meet Aus polution standards and boost performance our series 2 910's had a Bosch electronic dizzy/thermo fan/electric fuel pump to enhance performance and for some bizzare reason this is the only L engine that wont run on unleaded probably due to the pistons as ACL offer new pistons for L20b's which enable them to run ULP.Then NMA decided to give us series 3 910 with a carby CA20 just imagine how many they would have sold if they gave us Z18/ca20e etc .AS I say they screwed themselves perhaps their into incest. Sorry to go on but Nissan could have remained bigger than Toyota but for inept !!!!!!!! managment PETER malcolm cooper wrote: > Was the L20B you guys got cast in oz or just put together in ozzie > The L20B I use is from a jap 200BSSS and for some reason it goes real > well. > But by the book all L20B's are the same. > > Malcolm > > Peter Parry wrote: > > > > MAL I'd better jump in here ALL A and L series motors will run on unleaded > > EXCEPT SERIES 2 AUSSIE BLUEBIRDS the high energy motor [black rocker cover] > > These shitful engines made in AUS WILL NOT run on unleaded and my own thoughts > > on Aussie L20b's is well known > > Peter > > > > malcolm cooper wrote: > > > > > l20b FROM THE 810 200b MODEL > > > As in gas even the 1970 L16 is meant to run on unleaded > > > > > > Malcolm > > > P.S > > > But remember the higher the octane the better the ride. > > > > > > wak dog wrote: > > > > > > > > hey guys... i am a p510 owner and purchased the car with an l20b engine in > > > > it.... i was wondering if you could please tell me what car the engine is > > > > out of n what petrol it requires... > > > > also some info on other common engine swap would be great... > > > > thanx... > > > > ________________________________________________________________________ > > > > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com > > > > > > > > > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
