So I decided to post what I did with my 240 so far.

Off the delivery truck, didnt run, paid $300 from ebay + shipping

Original owner said it might be the timing chain but he didn't know, looked fine to me.

First problem I found that was the car wasnt getting fuel, so I pulled the fuel pump
Quote:

Im pretty sure the car sat for a loooooong time and the tank was gross so I pulled the tank too
Quote:
I had 0-70 psi of compression in the cylinders so it was time to take off the head
Quote:
This is what it looked like, I think the previous owner overheated it because I found some coolant hoses that were fucked later on
Quote:

head before the rebuild
Quote:
walbro 255 came in the mail along with a new coolant overflow because mine was rotted away, and a new z32 fuel filter. I also replaced most of the fuel lines and had to buy a new fuel sender unit because mine was shot.
Quote:
Almost done with the reassembly
Quote:
DONE! very satisfied at this point everything went pretty smooth.

Sorry kind of new here, is there a bb code to make thumbnails? I tried just using quotes but I guess it didn't work. Its weird every other time I look at the thread the pictures resize themselfs.
