Plenum Reinstall

[randy ransome]

First off let me say there's no way I would have attempted this without the help from everyone on this forum. I read up on the R&R of the plenum.
There were so many helpful articles and pictures that I had to give it a try myself. Usually I have someone work on my stuff but I figure if I've got a ZR-1 it's a right of passage to do this.

I sanded and repolished the intake, fixed vacuum leak, removed TB coolant, and installed new injectors. Took my time, something I'm not known for, and went out yesterday and in about three hours had it running. So far so good, it's idling at about 900 rpm.

Thanks again to everyone who contributes on this forum.

As someone who has done this before, more than once, congratulations!! It is intimidating to the uninitiated, but once attempted, and taking your time, it is very do-able. Part of this hobby is learning about the car. You gain an appreciation that other's will not have.

Again, great job!! And that is one beautifull motor!!
