If I had, I wouldn't be afraid to make such a disclosure (or maybe I'd plead the 5th too ).

I removed the plenum yesterday (6 minute plenum removal) and installing new RC injectors today. Also blocking TB coolant at injector housing and coolant return line to surge tank but you will not be able to tell from the appearance as it will appear completely stock. This 38K mile ZR-1 was driven to my garage on Mon March 4th (this last week). Compression test showed 230 lbs on ALL 8 cylinders

Re: When did you buy your ZR-1
I bought my first ZR-1 in 2008. 1992 Bright Red/Black interior, VIN:#068. It was a high miler, that I enjoyed for 3 1/2 years.
I purchased my current ZR-1 in 2011. 1995 Bright Aqua/Gray, VIN: #152. Update: I purchased my current ZR-1, 1991 Copper Metallic, in November of 2016, VIN: 1078.

Re: When did you buy your ZR-1
1998 for me. 8500 miles at the time. I had been dreaming of one since high school when they came out. A good friend let me drive his around 1996 and I knew I had to make it happen. Two years and many hours of overtime later I was canceling the firebird formula I had ordered brand new while my ZR-1 was idling in the parking lot.

Dynomite Standard ZR-1 Restoration for any ZR-1
That is sunny Central Valley CA.......I follow the sun and warm weather..............drive the ZR1s year around.
Last Week.......ALL Fluids changed out (AMSOIL 10W-40, Castrol 10W-60, Mobile 1 75W-90, DOT 4)......and Differential Case Drain Installed. This week the Standard Dynomite Top End Restoration....... New Inj Housing, Plenum, Crank Case Vent Gaskets, TB Coolant blocked..... New SL4-205 RC Injectors, New Coolant Hoses with rounded edge clamps, Pressure wash (hot water) under Plenum and total engine pressure wash (with everything under Plenum removed and valley drain cleaned). Starter Solenoid will be restored and Alternator polished (not painted). A Billet Aluminum Belt Tensioner Pulley was added yesterday. Will also check all Oil Pan bolts and Water Pump bolts and possibly remove bolts and reinstall with Blue Loctite (One bolt at a time). Notes: 1. If I had the gaskets in hand and new coolant hoses.....this complete restoration I would expect to take maybe a day with the wrenches. It is almost a must to have a high pressure washer connected directly to HOT water. The Transmission, Under the engine, front of engine, front suspension.....and particularly around the Oil Filter Adapter and below the Dipstick seem to be places where the most oil has been spilled over the years. Also have on hand a can of engine degreaser. Spray with degreaser and let it sit for a few minutes before hitting it with Hot High Pressure water. 2. On this LT5 it will appear TB coolant is intact as I plugged the rubber hose (going to Coolant Surge Tank) at the connection to Plenum and inserted 1/8 inch Allen Pipe Plug in Injector Housing. Also will retain original #40 Torx Plenum and Cam Cover Bolts. Carter Bling in Engine Compartment will be added. Original LT5 Color will be retained.....making this engine appear TOTAL STOCK. 3. New Tools These from Harbour Freight...... a. 1/4 inch drive Torx #40 hardened steel for Plenum and Cam Cover Bolts (just long enough to reach between those two tight runners on the Plenum). b. 14 inch long combination 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch drive Flex Head Socket wrench strong enough (even using the 1/4 inch end) to remove the hardest to remove Torx Cam Cover Bolts. The 14 inch leverage eliminates the need for a cheater bar on the typical socket wrench. The 10 minute Plenum Removal has been confirmed (once coolant is drained as in this case without TB coolant blocked at the start) The 10 Minute Plenum Removal TIPS Before Alternator/Starter Removal (Note Injector Housing Coolant Blocked to TB - Red Allen Head Plug) After Alternator/Starter Removal (One Hour Later....took extra time to pressure wash Engine with Hot Water and to recondition the Starter Solenoid).

And maybe some other shots if I find some new technique or way of doing things But my 10 minute Plenum Removal has been confirmed (once coolant is drained as in this case without TB coolant blocked at the start) The 10 Minute Plenum Removal TIPS So no photos of that as I was racing and if I took photos it would be a 60 minute Plenum Removal But what I will do is show a couple NEW tools in that 10 minute plenum removal thread for those that have stock Torx #40s for the plenum that are hard to get at and need a bit of leverage....See above Dynomite Standard ZR-1 Restoration post above
