Stripped this bolt on my AQ131A while fitting a new timing belt. This bolt holds the tensioner. I don't have a clue on how to proceed from here.
Can anyone help? Thanks
2009 Nissan 9.8 not starting after sitting too long. Pulled the carburetor and partially disassembled and soaked in cleaner for an hour, then rinsed in water and blew out with canned air. Now engine will start with choke and runs only with the use of the choke. It once attained an idle without...
The schematic for the oil pan on an AQ131A shows that the oil drain plug has a washer on it and the list calls it a gasket.
Since I would feel dumber than usual ordering that washer from Volvo, can anyone tell me if that washer is metal or fiber?
Attached pic is a partial schematic of my AQ131A. Can anyone tell me what part #39 is and what it does? I don't have one on my engine and I'm pretty sure that I never did.
For the life of me I can't figure out what it is and does. Anybody?
I'm at that point in the reassembly of my AQ131A where I'm ready to install the timing belt but am not sure about when to stick the distributor back in.
My assumption is to install the belt (I understand how to line up the various pulleys at TDC and so forth) and then while still at TDC at...
Got my AQ131A on a stand while I reassemble it and I'm about to hook up the copper water tubes, raw water pump etc and I'm wondering if I should be adding any type of compound/gasket sealer to the rubber washers to help make the connection water tight?
Any opinions appreciated. Thanks.
My Nissan 9.8A3 won't start after sitting for 3 months and so I started fiddling with it. So far I've figured out that gas is reaching the carburetor, but the only way she will fire is with a shot of starter fluid into the air intake, which I hate to use.
So, I'm going to pull the carb for...
I've located an automotive thermostat that would appear to fit my AQ131A. It's rated at 82 degrees which, according to the manual is correct.
Anyone know if it's OK to use? Thanks.
I'm re-assembling my AQ131A and I'm looking at lots of rubber O-rings of various sizes and thicknesses that need to be installed on the water pipes, heat exchanger etc. etc.
What I'm not sure of is whether or not I should use any type of sealer on these fittings. The manuals don't say to use...
I'm getting ready to reassemble the heat exchanger from my AQ131A with a new gasket and am wondering if I need to add any gasket sealer along with it or not. It's been cleaned up since I took the picture.
Can't find any info on it. Anybody know? Thanks.
I feel like an archaeologist on a dig somewhere scratching through levels to find all sorts of surprises. I've got my AQ131A on an engine stand with most of the components off for a cleanup and reassemble.
Today I got the heat exchanger on the bench and pulled it apart even though I didn't...
Tried to research this but could not find an answer. I have a felpro oil pan gasket for my AQ131A with no instructions and am wondering if I should be using gasket sealer along with it. It's not the cork type gasket.
Anybody know? Thanks.
I've got my AQ131A on a stand in the garage and while turning it over to access the oil pan bolts, I broke the oil dipstick tube right at the block.
Replacing it would require first finding a replacement for which I have little hope and then somehow knocking out the remnant left in the block...
My AQ131A is sitting on an engine stand and I'm ready to re-install the distributor and setup BASE timing. However the engine has been turned over since the distributor has been removed and I have no reference marks to work with.
I do however, know approximately where the rotor should be...
This tank thing has got me confused.
This tank thing has got me confused.
My situation is this: As part of the restoration and conversion of my '86 Capri 2150 cuddy to a more fishing friendly boat, I've pulled the gas tank to have a look. It has not leaked in the past and it looks pretty good...
