schrocketeer Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I've got an '87 w/ z24i engine. I got a rebuilt head from Advance Auto. The old head had a blocked port on the front of the intake side. The new head has a hole in it. Any idea where I can find a cover to go in the place?

Alkorahil Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I see one plug on the intake side of the head. It appears on the diagram to be about 1/3 of the way back from the head, near the engine sliger. It is a round threaded plug. It is still available from Nissan. PART NUMBER: 11048-10W00 DESCRIPTION: PLUG-THREADED $1.33 (NISSAN LIST: $4.37) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrocketeer Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thanks for the part description above, Alkorahil. My mistake for not describing the hole better. As I have surfed around, it appears the hole is for where there used to be a mechanical fuel pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Are you sure this plug is on the head itself and not the intake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrocketeer Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Yeah, it's just (vehicle) forward of the intake manifold. It's even on a different plane than the intake manifold. My son made a cover out of some plate metal we had lying around. We put some permatex RTV around the edge. We had to modify (slot out) one of the brackets (power steering?) that attached to it. This forum has been a great help as I've been working on this project with my sons! Thanks for the help. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Just looked on rockauto to see a pic of the head, the one item they have says this under it "SOHC, 8 VALVE, 8 SPARK PLUG HOLES, NO FUEL PUMP HOLE ON SIDE OF HEAD. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Ok its the flat plate for where the fuel pump would be on the Z18 and Z20 motor. I jumped into the japan parts cataloge and found it for you. Here are the part numbers for that: 16420-E0100 PLATE-COVER 17099-85G00 GASKET FUEL 08120-8201E BOLT HEX QTY NEEDED: 3 These parts show still available from Nissan. The plate ships from Japan, 2-3 weeks for delivery. The bolts only come in packages of 5 from Nissan.
