coldturkey Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 I need the standard sizes and tolerences of piston bore, camshaft, crankshaft, valve guides, bearings etc to rebuild the engine, plus torque settings etc But it would really be good to have a manual in case i get stuck in some places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I have a manual, but no scanner. The library should have a haynes manual for the Datsun sunny. many of them were A15 powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldturkey Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 hey, would you be able to give me the standard bore size and standard crankshaft measurements? and big end/main bearing tolerances and perhaps piston ring gap tolerances. Should get me started(!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBreeze Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Go buy a Haynes manual. $20 or so 2nd hand isn't much of an outlay if you are building a whole motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
