5.0 out of 5 stars Modifying your Datsun OHC engine -- an excellent guide!, August 6, 2000

By	Andrew Bowers (Albany, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Modify Your Nissan/Datsun Ohc Engine (Paperback)

My friend has this book, and I've looked it over a few times. It is an excellent guide, a must for the performance engine builder! It shows everything from heads, how to weld them, straighten them, even port and polish them, to bottom end work such as balancing, which rods to use, what pistons you should use for a particular application, even shows how to use a welder and a milling machine to match the top of the piston to the combustion chamber for high compression! If you want to performance-build your Datsun/Nissan engine, this is the book for you!

This book is great for the serious do-it-yourselfer. If you know how rebuild your engine, you'll have no problems. It gives recommendations from the experts and simplifies it for you, and eliminates the hassle and expense of experimenting. Get it, it's an excellent reference if you're already in the business.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book - just doesn't cover Z24 as much as L-series, July 21, 2001

By	David Meyer (Lynnwood, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Modify Your Nissan/Datsun Ohc Engine (Paperback)

I liked this book simply because it's gonna answer many questions and give much help to anyone with a 70's or '80's z-car or truck. I have a 720 pickup with the Z24 motor. It is in the list, however it is not touched upon as much as the L-series inline 6 and 4 cylinders.
