Some people have told me that I would need to put in spacers.

Have applied a fair amount of pressure with a 3/8 ratchet and it's starting to dig in. The guys at Autozone had no tools that would fit in the plug, other than perhaps a metric star drive but I don't want to mash the thing up completely.

Anybody know what sort of tool will fit snugly in the plug? There's lots of oil seeping out the seals and I really want to top it off. ]]> Mudhiker http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/157080-e16-manual-transmission-fill-plug.html http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156998-possible-blown-head-gasket.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:49:36 GMT got my car started yesterday after it sat for about two months. it ran unbelievably rough and blew lots of white smoke out the exhaust, smoke came out of the tb and removed the oil cap a again more... got my car started yesterday after it sat for about two months. it ran unbelievably rough and blew lots of white smoke out the exhaust, smoke came out of the tb and removed the oil cap a again more smoke. so does that sound like a head gasket, theres no water in the oil or anything. i just cant figure it out. someone please help! ]]> aholtzberger http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156998-possible-blown-head-gasket.html http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156987-help-89-e16-cranks-but-wont.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:43:22 GMT Hi All,

Ok, I've got an 89 Sentra with an E16 engine. Suddenly stopped running; stalled and won't start. Car was at slow speed when this happened. Engine cranks, rest of car has juice but the engine won't fire. I've checked the carb - she's getting plenty of gas, and I've checked for spark - no problem there. I have taken it to my mechanic who has duplicated results and has confirmed the coil is alive and healthy. Ran several compression tests with erratic results on cyl # 1: 80lbs - 100lbs - 120lbs etc .. At this point we suspect the timing chain has skipped - or broken a couple of teeth? Might there be valve damage here as well? Something we're missing? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ]]> 89bluedog http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156987-help-89-e16-cranks-but-wont.html http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156966-need-help-asap.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:25:44 GMT i need some major help. fixed my car tonight and went to start it and it would not start and when it did it would not stay running and then smoke came out of the tb. anyone know what is wrong and how... i need some major help. fixed my car tonight and went to start it and it would not start and when it did it would not stay running and then smoke came out of the tb. anyone know what is wrong and how i can fix it? ]]> aholtzberger http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156966-need-help-asap.html http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156822-e16i-removing-crankshaft-pulley.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:54:46 GMT My timing belt desperately needs replacing.

My timing belt desperately needs replacing. I have the FSM and the Haynes, and both are rather vague on how to do this. How, after getting it all aligned at TDC, do I get the darn thing off without it all turning? Haynes says to put it in 2nd and hold down the brake, which I did with a pair of vice grips, but I still get movement. If that darn lower dust cover wasn't there I think I could do the job without removing the pulley... Or does this have something to do with me taking the spark plugs out? If I leave them in will the compression hold things still?

But had to button things up before sundown. She still runs. Got an errant vacuum hose that I can't find a home for. Snapped a bolt on the new water pump but it still has 4 at least. ]]> Mudhiker http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156822-e16i-removing-crankshaft-pulley.html http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156759-looking-thread.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:18:36 GMT i found it once but cant remember which one it is. it had info on the e series and which heads and internal components gave the best copression ratios if anyone knows which one i am talking about and... i found it once but cant remember which one it is. it had info on the e series and which heads and internal components gave the best copression ratios if anyone knows which one i am talking about and can help me out that would be great. ]]> aholtzberger http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156759-looking-thread.html http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156727-e16-dual-weber-manifold-ebay.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:55:18 GMT If anyone is interested, this thing looks like fun.

TWIN IDF WEBER MANIFOLD SUIT NISSAN PULSAR N12 ASTRA - eBay (item 330363300487 end time Nov-25-09 12:52:58 PST)

The seller insists that it fit under the hood of the original car. Somebody needs to buy this and put it on their car! Weber IDF 44's are $239 each on ebay.

(And no I have no personal interest in this transaction.) ]]> Mudhiker http://www.NissanForums.com/e-ca-series-ga16i-engines/156727-e16-dual-weber-manifold-ebay.html
