I am ready! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

secondchance · 02-22-2010

Well, getting ready for the next batch of maintenance here is a list of parts on hand:

1. Apair of AC-Delco rear bearing hubs (says Made in USA) from corvetterecycling.com - Thank you Phil!
2. Oil pan gasket from Jerry's Gasket.
3. A set of bushings for rear sawy bar - non-poly, looks factory but not sure.
4. Factory front and rear emblems - ones I have on the car was buffed over and especially the rear bottom circle was rounded.
5. Searching for front and rear seal for ZF6. Sent an e-mail to Bill Boudreau - Talking with Rich so that we can order in together.

Additional parts needed for later this year:

6. Clutch - we will have to discuss options, Rich.
7. Targa weather strips.
8. Window regulator, driver side - current one is getting a little lazy. Also, the way window leans easily when pulled front/rear seems to suggest track/wheels may be worn out.
9. Outside door/window edge trim - I figure since driver side is cracked, might as well replace when replacing the regulator.

Will it ever end???

Jim. Are your listening???
Any advise for parts or helpful tips for servicing is welcome.

Almost forgot!

Also ordered radio trim plate from Florida for $274 to make it look factory new. Pricey but I don't see the price coming down and a year from now, I may never find a new piece. So I bit the bullit on this one.
And 2 2ndary actuators since mine was installed backwards from the factory. After removal, old one goes into WAZOO parts list.

Byong,

we have the front and rear seals in stock, but it's better to buy the whole seal and gasket kit, it's better value for money.

$69.99 your price.

Thanks for chimimg in. I will give it a serious thought. I won't be tearing into it for 2-3 months.
Since I got you here, did you get my order for the radio trim?

Yep, ships tomorrow.

5. Already talked to you about these.
6. You know what I ordered, you can see how it installs in a few weeks at WMD.
9. Let me know when you order, I need these too.

Sounds great! Let the LT5 teardown begin.

My tips, the pan gasket is pretty easy, just remove the K members, and be sure to clean out the bolt holes well (they will probably be oily).

The outside window trim/weatherstrip: Be careful when drilling the rivets out. It's very easy to go too far (ask me how I know that).

Oh, s**t! No, you didn't! I heard of it happening.
As for the oil pan, I am thinking a dab of loctite. Do you think?

David,
Those are not "honey do" list. More like "honey, why the hell do you need these?" list.

Aurora40 · 02-23-2010

Even with loctite, you should still clean out the holes. They will likely be quite oily. I sprayed some brake cleaner in each one a couple times, then blew them out.

On the weatherstripping, yes I did. It wasn't on the ZR-1, but an '87 I owned previously.

Thanks.
Yes. I will definately clean out the thread holes and all bolts real good. Plus a dab of loctite to be sure.
Did you use any sealant on the gasket? Both sides?
