'94 ZR-1 Engine/Car Rebuild - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hello Everybody!

After like two years since I bought the car from Kris and less than 10 miles behind the wheel (the car was impounded after few kilometers away from the customs office and after 3 days in italy because of expired temporary license plates and it costed me a "small fortune" to get it back) I decided to begin a big overhaul of the car.

I started immediately by fixing some small issues around the car, but everytime I removed something I found something worse behind it...
At the end a couple of month ago I decided to remove the engine and start from everything from scratch.

In this thread I will share my experience/story of the rebuild of the car and I hope to find some help from you guys.

When I got stopped by the police...

When it arrived at home

At the workshop with one of its sisters

The engine just before the removal

Almost ready to be removed

The engine is on the ground!

Lets the nightmare begin

First surprise: camshaft lobe tips are ruined (seems like pitting)

On both banks

Crankshaft doesn't look bad
