I have decided to convert my 260Z to a diesel burner and experience the wonders of diesel tech.

I have procured the diesel maxima engine and now ready for engine test and rebuild

The engine I just got is missing the crank injector pulley and the cover for it-- where can I procure it.

thank you

Welcome!

If you edit your Signature (click on "Profile" at the top of any page) and add your geographic location and vehicle to the Signature, it'll save a lot of time in the long run.

I have the IP belt cover, if you can't find one. It is not "pristine". It's in a pile of stuff I am sending off to be powder-coated, and it is a spare, has some rust. The paint or prep Nissan did for these belt covers is pretty poor: it only holds up 25 years!

I do not think I have a spare crank sprocket for the IP belt though. I have spare IP belt sprockets (IP end) for certain, if you need one.
