DIY valve job. You can handle it for sure.Reuse the head gasket. If not to hard pull the pan and check the bearings. Nothing to loose but money.

That car 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 and the winch is a jackpot

Being a mechanic and having a 1980 Datsun King Cab 4X4 with the L20B, you were killing me at first as I watched you do this wanting so bad to be able to help you work on this thing. I did not think these 2 plug per cylinder engines were available in the 81 . ( I was wrong) I do know the 80 was the first year with the independent front suspension though

Before you send anything off, I just got to part where you asked if any info that may help, I have had engines that sat for years and in a engine some valves are open adn some closed when sitting if all the hardware is connected, being that long I would suggest some valves may have rusted or gummed up to stay open, try spraying some pen oil on each valve in spring areea as well as the stem underneath (Block side then take a rubber mallet and tap each valve adn I bet they will seat back down just fine in a few taps

Very fake to me

Thank you for trying! The Black Friday Promotion will start next week! The MIG200 price will be down to $339.99, the lowest price, during the Black Friday Promotion period!

Stumbled onto your channel and was disappointed. Very little mechanical work on the Datsun truck too much talking and nothing to show. There are so many guys on YT doing videos on car restorations, bringing cars back to life after sitting for 30 years in a barn somewhere. The competition is fierce and there are some good mechanics showcasing their talents on their channel. Sorry buddy, didn't work for me. Good luck.

I've seen these reviewed by a few others ... Theirs and your reviews all point to it being a good starter. I look at it as an upgrade just for the inverter technology being so much smaller as space in my garage is really limited. Nice review man, keep it up!

Sometimes spending more money doesn't mean you get a better product. I know that for fact. Been down the road.

Just found your channel amd subscribed! Great job on the roof. Hope to see more videos of the shop restoration!

I have a Lincoln stick welder that I had refurbished and I have a Lincoln 140 mig that I use with.023 wire for sheet metal. Two years ago I bought a Yes Welder that does stick, lift tig and mig. I run.030 wire on it for heavier stuff. I also have a YesWelder plasma cutter. They are all on two carts except my old ac/dc Lincoln stick. I built a rolling platform for it. Glad to see you’re back on the “T”.

I went with the MiG 200 as my first MiG got it on sale a a great price compared to other brands out there exactly 13 months later was welding it shut down and popped a code for over heating the fan wasn’t working I contacted arccaptain thru customer support email after a few emails and pictures checking some things they asked me to do they apologized I had had trouble with it and sent me a new machine. I was extremely impressed with them and would not hesitate to recommend their products. I have since added more products from them.

Seems like a good deal. If you get a chance to test their tiny portable welder, curious how that tacks out in the wild. A nice tool for fab up something big outside like gates before you need to pull out the real welder and get it done.

Nissan 720s are great trucks.

Dag Man, I'm sold! I really haven't gotten beyond a Horrible Freight unit. It's good to see some work on the T. Thanks for the review Bro! ...Newk from Kentucky

Man I had two of them. One was a 81 and the other one was a 85 I believe and I loved my 81 I drove it for along time until my power steering pump went out and parts are hard to find where I am from or they coast to much. Don’t give up on it once u drive it I will fall in love with it.

First comment please pin

I mean, it could be a candidate for SBC swap. As well as a solid axle swap?🤷‍♂️ But I would first give it a bath and assess the the rest of the truck.

Looks like you could use about (6) 18 yd trucks of fill to start with. Don't disturb tree roots. Roots keep the tree from falling on your house.......

The windows look pretty good. Worth at least $100 each. I have the exact same trailer and if I lived closer I would come get them

90% of couldnt work on it then...IYKYK :)

you got a Mad Max spec truck, if 700 is what keeps you from a running truck and a giant lawn ornament, pay it. if it doesnt work you can scrap it? i love the old 80's series nissan and toyota trucks, so id vote to get it up and running.

I had a 82 720 4x4. I had all kinds of problems with the 4cyl. I ended up putting a 280z strait 6 in her. That wasnt easy had to clearance a lot and have an adapter built for the trans. BUT wow what a rig afterwards. The proformance difference was insain. Low end and high end. I never understood why more people didnt make that swap.

Ever since discovering this channel this year, I’ve got to say I’ve been addicted to watching your vids. Very chill to watch and educational in seeing you work through any issues that you come across. Keep up the great work!

Definitely worth putting the effort to nto.

The fence looks great. Great job.

my old datsun would start with ANY key lol i used a house key once and it started...not much for theft protection lol

almost no window and not safety work

What are you doing with my retirement home?

That metal is not like shingles as you don’t stick to it like you do with shingles. Congrats you did it and did an awesome job plus saved yourself thousands!

Post will rot out first. Would have used old oil pipe. Nice though

You lost me at mongo! 😂 just kidding, still enjoy the videos

you can get rough cut lumber at a local saw mill cheaper than a box store. and if you ask around you will find individuals with smaller saw mills that can help you on that also

Found you channel, watched a while and, subscribed. I am a, shall we say, mechanically challenged, 62 year old, learning on a 1966 Buick Wildcat with a 425. Information is good, I need to learn

Just fix it

nice work man

Another reason for multiple tape measures. U are bound to loose one.

New subscriber. Good job. Now sell the old tin to a homesteader. Make a few bucks back.

I think your fusion fence with roofing panels etc looks great.

Bullshit, a non interferens engine will NEVER touch the valves regardless of rpm Probably the same shit they told the previous owner when they sold him an entire new valvetrain It needs 8 new valvesprings & a lot of Turtlewax, love & care 😉

The timing chain marks are only there for initial setup to help with align and will not lineup again with the crank and cam timing marks until after numerous revolutions due to differences in the amount of chain links vs amount of cam/crank sprocket teeth.

I have good machine,how can contact you ❤

New favorite channel, would love to see that truck running!

we use a nibler to cut sheets

I know what this is like. My work vehicle, a split screen VW Bus has no working fuel gauge. Have to carry spare fuel at all times and i'm no stranger to being on the side of the road waiting for the carbs float bowl to fill.... Still, i love just rocking the bus.

Love the Car Content and the Building content too!

Catatrophic motor failure, no body left, biohazard interior...You said it, money pit. Sell the winch, it's worth good money. Get a couple hundred bucks from the scrap value and walk away. You'll thank me later.

That right there is a green roof bro. People pay $1000s for a setup like that ;-)

Buy some new valves and put em in. Lap them yourself. This truck is cool! There must be a title for it somewhere?

Puddinsfabshop loves these trucks and buys them & gets em going again has a few on his channel
