Re: Second time for Secondchance
Y'all would cost me a fortune if I lived there.
Nice work fellas. Yun, sorry for the troubles but looks like a good thing is coming together. Ted |

That said I understand you may need to change/mod the car for the parts, but not mod the kit.

All said and done, this was cheaper and less of a headache compared to fabricating one from the scratch. Last edited by secondchance; 10-01-2015 at 10:45 PM. |

Re: Second time for Secondchance
10/3/2015 update:
Another rainy day but perfect for short block assembly. Ran over to Dempsey's and started with crankshaft plug installation.  Lower thrust bearing had chipped so replaced all main bearings with a new set from Jerry's Gasket. Crankshaft in the upper block ready to receive the lower block.  Dempsey bolting on main bearing cap bolts. Despite hot tanking exhaust leak stain still needs to be cleaned.  Number 1 & 2 pistons installed - 6 more to go.  To be continued...

Re: Second time for Secondchance
Hey Yun,
Sorry to hear about the engine woes, but glad to hear it is getting sorted out. You guys have the best thing going with all those WAZOO guys. I can't even get to meet other Z members here in NorCal, let alone try to do any mods with anyone. I might have to pick your brain about brakes as that is on the list. I found out how much these cars are lacking in that area while at Laguna SECA; you're right...why try to go faster if you can't stop. Take care and Aloha, Craig

Re: Second time for Secondchance
Hey, Craig,
Totally agree. Mutual support here is phenomenal. Although it was disappointing to find out that I had second head gasket failure, being able to do this the second time is allowing me to incorporate what I have learned hopefully leading to a better result. Call me or email me with any question regarding the brake upgrade. |
