No, this is not correct way, turn it at 180 degrees. The spiral must begin from propshaft side.

Thanks, mate...I really need some encouraging words right now.
I'm thinking of selling the car soon as possible.
Probably Z32 will be next one.

Found the reason for the knock. It was a bent rod.

0.5 mm by one side. The mechanic, who worked and assembled my pistons and rods 3 years ago, was missed that little fact.
I'm really pissed off....

thanks, mate

Today I have checked cylinder walls in every cylinder, and the good news are they aren't scored by pistons, thank God...

I agree with you mate, but thas was done just to test will something change if I put some more oil pressure...the answer is 'no' :)
Definately everything was checked and cleaned with the oil pump,...

Cheers for the replys, guys.

My Wisecos are from Apex ones, which are made especially for CA18DET, so I don't have the problem with cuts for oil squirters.

Oil pickup was deeply checked, and the pickup mesh too, the O-ring is new, and I have carefully checked when I bolted everything together. (that was done every time when I have stripped engine...Oil...

The pressure gauge is connected at the place, where the oil light sensor is, underneath the oil filter.
I have tried to raise the pressure from the oil pump regulator by adding a 1mm shim, but...

After I have fully rebuilded my engine , I can't get rid of one weird knock, that makes me paranoid at that time.

Lifters knocks. Not all of them, maybe one or two, let say - three lifters. ...

Cheers, I will try to record the noise from engine, and then will see...
Croustibat, mate, that oil was recommended by many people here, as for 15 grade - it's not a problem at all, my car sits in...

I'm using genuine nissan oil, 5W-40 grade, and I have noticed a little bit lower oil pressure:

850 rpm/idling - 1 - 1.1 bar at 80 degrees Celsius
3000 rpm under load - around 3,2 bar at 80...

Thanks, mate. When engine is cold, nothing knocks. Sounds like lifter, yup, but it comes and goes away, changes it's loudness and it's not constant . Most of time engine is quiet.
After revving...

Especially on CA18DET engine...

It clears most of the time, but when it comes, sounds like lifters - sometimes louder,...

Hi Bren,
What is the actual price for Ferodo Racing DS2500 front pads for 300zx calipers?
Cheers

Cheers, mate

Where is that amp located? Is it the little brown box near wiper motor?

Hi peers,

Can I adjust the wipers speed?

Why they are so slow, compared to other vehicles?
I need to say that I have cleaned/lubbed every mechanical part of wiper arm mechanism, especially...

So that tolerance won't affect squish area effectiveness at all.

Cheers

The amount, taken off head is around 0.55 mm. From block - off 0.15mm
So summary 0.70mm total.

Cheers Arry, that was a good info.
But what about increased gap between piston and squish area, as there is a 0.7mm difference, compared to 1.2 original headgasket.
With the Cometic 1.9 MHG I will...

What about Loctite 510, isn't a good alternative to Wellseal?

Hi peeps,

I'm planning to use a thick headgasket (1.9mm Cometic) to compensate head and block milling. But I have read via google and some articles here that is not very good option, as the gap...

Is it OK to use Cometic MHG with standart head bolts (tightened in order, according to FSM)?
