any body familiar with 80 nissan/datsun trucks?
So my buddy has an 83 nissan/datsun 720 4x4. 5speed. the timing chain is bad and I told him i might be able to do it for him if its anything similar to the 22re. It is gasoline, but i need to find out if its the 2.2 or the 2.4 first
Now does any body know anything about these motors? I've done a couple timing jobs on a 22re, and if its anything similar im sure I could figure it out. any good nissan forums out there? any advice? thanks

the z24 (which I would bet it has) is a simple motor. Just a normal chain job, nothing special. If you want a Nissan forum to play around in fot info though check nissanoffroad.net (simple enough). theres a section dedicated to 720s there

I had an '84 for a few years. The timing chain isn't much different than on the Toyota motors.
Watch out for cracked cylinder head. Those things are prone to cracking between the intake & exhaust valve seats.

As accepted to all advance of automotive area quiet depends on the trucking business and this is mainly because of access in appeal of trucks.
