For the radiator, I have always used Silverton Radiators in Alberton North. I can't recall the dudes name but has always looked after me with a good price and service.

I would also use Nissan antifreeze as this was recommended to me by Tour de Frans here on the forum, but after the second issue I had with the head cracking after a bolt shot into the radiator, I used the antifreeze/coolant that Silverton recommends..... and was a fair bit cheaper than Nissan. I figured that this is their game so they should know what is best too

I would replace valve stem seals too.

Not sure how much gas flowing is worth on these motors, I would say have a look but only do work if you can see major issues.
