Thanks to Aaron at SGC - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Aaron,
Thank you for bringing 1990 #1239 back to life. After giving you a car that did not run after several attempts by myself to resuscitate, you worked your magic and gave me back a Z that absolutely flies! Four stuck valves, injectors going bad, and blown head gaskets added up to a very sick engine. Dr. Aaron took over and performed open engine surgery and brought it back to life. He also added a little bit of "special sauce" to make it run better than ever. RWHP equals 390+. Thanks Aaron.

DAMN that's a lot of stuff wrong with one car. what caused all that? I also think you win the award for closest to my vin. 90 1433 here

Not to put Aaron on the spot but I think something happened by another repair facility and didn't get noticed until all He&)( broke loose. I have never had the car overheat or hit the rev limiter so either I bought a lemon car or powers beyond my control caused the issues. Either way, I paid the price to get it right and I honestly couldn't be happier with the results (even though I would have prefered it was never an issue). Aaron is outstanding and kept me updated on all of the issues he found. Cudos to SGC... I would love to share my theory but I won't on an open forum.

Glad to hear it's running well again.

I'll assume that there was a _little_ more work done to get it to 390 rwhp

I don't know what it was but I will take it!

Congratz on a nice runnin Z, and cudos to Aron for producing another happy "Beast Pilot!"

Far as "aquired issues" goes, my 90 came to me with "extras" as well, apparently; mouse nest and chewed LT5 wires, collapsing intake (acordion) tube, sun-bleached carpet, etc. Most of it was superficial stuff that was easy to fix. The burnt valve...not so much.

I guess my point is, it didn't take much to put her running and permagrin ensued. Even the P&P/headers went well. Porting the heads...was uh...challenging, however!

1990, VIN #1201 We're cuzins!!

Aaron is definitely a "good guy!" I've had the pleasure of having Aaron as a good friend for many years now. He always goes the extra mile to do for others. If you can't get along with Aaron, you can't get along with anyone.
