Maintnance
Gents,
I finally have some free weekends coming up and looking to get some maintnance done on my Z. Problem is I am not all that mechanical. Anyone interested in teaching me a few things? I have a small oil leak under the plenum. Need the oil changed, and perhaps the once over to make sure I don't blow it up. I live in the Prince Frederick, Solomons Island area in southern Maryland. I'll buy the parts, THE BEEF and the alcohol. ANyone interested? Thanks, Steve

Re: Maintnance
Steve,
I would be glad to help! I am tied up the next two weekends though. Are you available any evenings or weekdays? Jim

Re: Maintnance
Before you tear into the plenum, how have you determined that's where the oil leak is from?

Re: Maintnance
Dave and company are looking at October 1st afternoon and evening in Westminster. As far as the oil leak, I see oil puddled under the plenum. Not sure where its coming from. The plenum or the covers?
Steve

Re: Maintnance
We will meet at my garage (in Westminster) on Thursday, Oct 1st, at 12:00 pm. Everyone is invited. We will hang out and get some maintenance done.
Scheduled so far: Change the oil in Steve's 1990 ZR-1. Look for the source of the oil leak in Steve's 1990. We will have time to pull the plenum and tighten down the crankcase ventilation box if that is the problem. Fix David's speakers that are not working. Detail Jim's 1994 to get ready for the Fast Cars and Freedom Car Show. I hope more people will stop by during the day or evening!   Jim |

When you say "under the plenum", where exactly are you talking about? |
