Default New here, just bought '90 ZR-1

Can't wait to get it going, needs some work, but the price was right! I'm a mechanical person, so it should be a fun project.

(EDIT: Tom Crabs found my ZR-1 on eBay a couple days before I did, before I knew about this forum. Here is a link to that thread:

Congratulations and Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Beast!
So you're the guy who got the eBay White '90 with the broken timing chain down in Laguna Beach. Hopefully it's just the chain and there's not head/valve/piston damage. Best of luck with that.
Regardless, you're now a member of the family, so Welcome Aboard!!

As the founding member of the "Wet Blanket" club, I'm speechless.

Good luck with your project.

Yeah, I was excited, but not so much anymore. I feel like backing out and forgetting the whole thing. I'm worried about the possible damage. I don't have another $6000 to spend on another engine, or heads (heard those cost like 5k each? Yikes... what have I gotten myself into...) Could the head possibly be repaired if the damage is not too extensive? Maybe just replace the valves?
