I am parting out my automatic 280. It's about 90% complete.
It blew a head gasket for the second time (but on different a cylinder this time) after having the head milled, new turbo head bolts ect. ect..

Will sell parts cheap. If anyone is interested, we can speak on the tele and/or I can post a pictures.
I am located in bullhead Az
I now have a 71 240 and am willing to swap parts.

You say Turbo head bolts... It's not a turbo is it?

 

No sorry, it's not turbo, but I was led to believe that they were better to use either way.

 

would you be willing to sell the set or, just 1 of your turbo head bolts? I really need them!!! I have 13 in really nice condition, and then one of them is just in really bad shape :/ it's all i need to get my engine started back together.

 

Ya would sell you one. I paid 80 for the set. You can have it for whatever you think it's worth + shipping. Where are you located?

 

Okay just to clarify, are they turbo head bolts? I need a number 13 head bolt. thats what it says on the one i'm looking at. it measures about 6 3/4 inches total, tel me if you need any more details. I'll pay you $15 for it, shipped priority mail, how does that sound? My zip code is 90745 It shouldn't be more than $3.

 

I will sell it for 10, or whatever is a good deal. Yes they are turbo bolts. When I was in the process of changing the head gasket, one of the old ones broke off, so my friend took a torch to it, and I/we didn't know that you are supposed to heat the whole block, so it blew the gasket on that cyl (6). I bought the turbo bolts because I read on the forum that they were better, and that you were supposed to add a few pounds to the torque but I just followed the manual.

 

Do you have the rear tail light cover panels?

 

As far as body parts, I have almost everything exept hood, right fender, headlight buckets and lower front peices. (I got too carried away around a corner) I will post some pics ASAP
Make offers????

P.S. I didn't quite want such a bad pic (a monsoon just rolled in) to be so big, but bare with me for now
