Are there any tips or "watch out fors" about remove/reinstall the dual mass flywheel?
I will be replacing the crankshaft rear seal this weekend.
Thanks, Jim

Biggest one is just to mark the clutch & flywheel with a paint marker or something similar so they go back together in the same orientation to each other. Can have a peak at the pilot bushing while your in there. Mine came out with my pinky finger, made it easy to inspect :).

Talking about a pilot bearing or a booger?

I knew me saying that about how easy mine was to come out would get you going. Tell us again Lee, How hard was it to get your's out :happy1:. I pulled mine out with one hand & had a cocktail in the other hand...ice cube's didn't even have a chance to melt the bushing came out so fast :p.

Now that's what I'm talking about, working on the ZR-1 with a drink in your other hand. You can visit my garage anytime! :occasion1

Should replace the pilot bearing while you are at it.
I have a good puller if you need it.

Thanks Jerry, I got the gaskets and seal and I am ready to work.
Thanks Phil, I bought the puller that you recommended in another thread. Come on up and join the fun!

Jim,
PM me your address and maybe I can slip over for a bit on Sunday morning.
Dave says you have a new Pioneer combo system with all the bells and whistles going in the 94 that has me interested plus you probably need somebody with experience to qualify you on that shiny new bearing puller you got.

Phil,
eMail with address sent. I hope you will come up. There may also be a side trip to see my Model A collection including the 1931 Model A that I just pull out of 22 years of storage.

I just wanted to say how lucky you guys are to be within driving distance to give each other a hand with repairs. It sure doesn't work that way out here way - up in No. Cal. Jeff is only 400 miles north in Portland :mrgreen: ...that's if I got really hung up. No one else up here knows a friggen thing about these engines.

I "found" all these helpful guys by going to events and local car shows and getting the email address of everyone I met who knew about the ZR-1. Then I started an email list and we did some local "events" to get to know one another. I now have a list of about 32 ZR-1 owners in the Baltimore/northern Virginia area. Many do not ever post on the forums, very few use the ZR-1Net. Some are not "active" in the ZR-1 Net Registry. Also it helps to have David keep in contact with everyone in the ZR-1 universe.
The regional forums have helped also. It gets people to think "locally".

Remember to pull the MAP sensor off the back of the plenum before pulling the transmision
