Serious timing issues on 1985 nissan king cab z24.

I had bent valves and a blown head gasket on an 85 z24 720 pickup. Valves have been replaced at a machine shop etc. The shop that did the work could not get the timing correct with the chain/crank/oil pump alignment (even following the manual and calling a couple of import buddies didnt help) and as a result the distributor is advanced wide open which gets it close but not quite right.

These guys are good but this engine threw them for a loop. Any suggestions I could give to them to help as the timing needs to be advanced a bit but can not be due to the distributor being maxed out ?

SOURCE: 300zx engine idle

The reason it's stalling out is because of the adjustments you made to the CAS and TPS. You need to reset the CAS where it was, since when you rotate this sensor, you change the ignition timing. As for the TPS, that also needs to be reset to how it was. The way to adjust the idle on this engine is with a screw on the idle air control valve (IACV). At the back corner of the engine, on top on the driver's side, the IACV is bolted on. If you crouch down next to the driver's fender and look straight in at the IACV (with a flashlight) you will see a screw recessed in there, with the head pointing toward you. That's the idle adjustment screw. With the engine running, AFTER you have reset the CAS and TPS, turn this screw until you are able to set a warm-engine idle of roughly 750 RPM. Messing with TPS voltage and ignition timing is a sure-fire way to stall or blow up your engine.

SOURCE: 1985 nissan king cab z24 engine. I want to replace

Best bet for a replacement carb would be a weber 32/36..Part # K646 . It has everything in the kit for replacing the stock carb. Block off all the emission vac ports.

How do I adjust the rocker arm bolts for the valve lash on a 1985 Nissan 720 pick up Z24 engine

Guys he has a Z24, Not KA24, Z24 for one, Is carbed and has older lifters and valves. They need to be tuned to spec within a certain specific limit and the cams must be rotated in certain positions when doing different valves, etc... Shouldnt take very long normally and its not a hard process but if you have a tick, you really should get it checked out. Btw, the Z24 engine's idle isnt controlled by ecu at all or else the carb wouldnt need an idle adjustment screw.

My timing belt snapped and I took it to a mechanic. he said that the belt snap the piston head and the bent the valves. I am wanting second opinion, and would like to know if the timing belt is connected...

The pistons will hit and bend the valves if the timing belt snaps because they are very close.The alternator does not connect to the timing belt, there is a separate belt that runs the alternator.

Truck seeems to be sluggish

low compression is the main cause of power loss. The main causes for low compression are either worn rings,or liners...cracked valves,,warped heads, or block, and bad head gasket! Otherwise have your wired checked and vacumm lines.

1985 720 truck 2.4 (z24) need picture where spark plug wires go

You have the NAPS Z (nissan anti performance system haha) emissions engine. the dual plugs provide a hot spark for exhaust gas reburn and lowered tailpipe emissions. both plugs fire at the same time.
It is not really a good engine platform for high performance modification as its limited by the NAPS Z cross flow cylinder head design, its best to leave them mostly stock. I have owned several of the 720 king cab pu's and can attest to their durability, fuel economy, and reliability when properly tuned and maintained.
