AtomChurch Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 what was your time? I want to time myself on a head gasket swap. I bet I could do it in 20 minutes now. Well on a four cylinder. Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) I had a problem with over heating once after my radiator leaked. I fixed the leak but I think it was too late. The head get's checked out at a shop before it goes back on. ;) Someone else may want to use this motor when I do my swap, so I want it in good working order. ;) Edited October 13, 2009 by Phlebmaster Quote Link to comment

She pulled the intake and exhaust on her own. I pulled the head bolts, rad, pulley, etc... but she did quite a bit. :) Quote Link to comment
goatee Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 My kids get to bored and start stringing tools into the yard to dig in the dirt with! Course 6 and 8 year old attention spans aren't all that great. :D Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 my son just hits the car with a hammer or other tools, of course at 2 years that pretty good. Quote Link to comment
goatee Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 My 6 year old seems much more interested than the 8 year old. I let him go to town on my wifes 61 scout with the wd40 can. I came out 15 minutes later and took about 20 bolts off. He even hit the hinges! Quote Link to comment
drummingpariah Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 my son just hits the car with a hammer or other tools, of course at 2 years that pretty good. Hey, that's what I do too! He's way ahead of the game if he's only two! Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Update! :) THANK YOU PAUL! :D Took the head to Paul's place today and Chey decked the E88 for me. She almost looks like she knows what she is doing. lol Almost done! Finished! Paul also drilled and tapped the bolt holes and gave her a good looking over. When I got home we put the Z back together and she runns like a champ. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 be careful with MY mill!! ....where the heck's the power feed??? Paul better get that upgraded before I take delivery!! :) Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 awsome glad to see the car back up and running on a side note you might want to start answering the door with a baseball bat in your hand to fend off the guys who are after your daughter :D Quote Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I made a capitol purchase towards the SBC swap...thanks Ron! Comps Xtreme energy hydraulic flat tappet grind #12-211-2, with two changes... it has the 4/7 swap and LSA is 112 (instead of 110). Built for 1.6 rockers, lift is .501"/.501 (If used with 1.5 rockers, lift would be .470) Cam is new/unused. This should rattle my teeth! :D Quote Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Small update :D If my car does not sell by 11/14/09 I am going to put in an R-200 and 5spd and EI dizzy and what ever other cool thing I can find to stick into my baby. I will have pics of my loot after tomorrow. I do not want to sell this car...but that may not be a problem. I have had 4 people just flake out...it is really disgusting how people can make you jump through hoops and waste your time just to say..."Nah, I changed my mind." This whole selling my zcar thing sucks to begin with and then to get told one thing then they don't show up just really makes for a stressful time. That is why I put a time limit on my for sale ad. I figure if it don't sell then I was destined to keep her. lol Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 since when did your car go up for sale? I don't see a post or a thread by you stating this......what am I missing? Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I was wondering the same thing. I did see the dash on craigs list. Didn't I ask you about that once upon a time?? Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I was wondering the same thing. I did see the dash on craigs list. Didn't I ask you about that once upon a time?? lol. Different Dash this time. I shall have a 280z dash that is almost flawless tomorrow...in case you wanted one. ;) Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 are you putting the 280 dash in your 240? the stock dash mounts are different IIRC Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 are you putting the 280 dash in your 240? the stock dash mounts are different IIRC Nope, My car is intact. These are off of different cars. ;) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 still hasn't answered the "when/why...if" your car went up for sale. Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 still hasn't answered the "when/why...if" your car went up for sale. Look here: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=16787 I guess you could say the economy forces sale. I will have the ability to pay off some bills that are making life difficult right now.
