N42 head thickness

Post by old_datto_fan » Thu Dec 17, 2015 12:15 pm

If anyone has a standard N42 head from an L28 are you able to measure the thickness of the head for me please. I'm trying to help a local guy sort out his L28 but his current head appears to be thicker than the measurements we can find on the net. He is probably going to fit the planed N42 head I have sold him and he will also need some cam tower spacers if anyone has some of those they want to sell.

I have the cam tower shims if he needs them. It will depend on the thickness he needs

Hi there Mike,

looking in the modifying your Nissan/Datsun OHC engine manual, the standard measurement is 4.218 inches. The distance between top and bottom surfaces. Most probably easier to convert to millimetres, to measure up.

Catcha,
