NISSAN HARDBODY V8 SS WOW!!!

FOUND THIS PIC ON THE NET..

THIS IS THE SWEETEST HARDBODY I HAVE SEEN.

LOOK AT THE MOTOR!!

WOW!!!

Shifter Boot Repair

Replaced the shifter/transmission rubber boot. I had to remove the shifter from the transmission and replace the rubber shifter boot.

The old one had ripped and thats why I kept smelling transmission fluid inside the truck.

So now its fixed and no smell.

Motor is doing great!!
So far I have put 1800 miles on motor since the timing chain tare down.
No Issues.. Knock on wood!

Pic of Oil Pump

See how in the pic below it shows the shaft leaning towards 11 top and 5 bottom.
This is the correct postion.

Well I made a 240 mile round trip with no problems. The truck gut 21 mpg and thats up from 17. Engine is running alot better! Took a while to fine tune the motor. But i think im finally done for now.
