Doctoraudio Posted June 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 What is that brass dot there for? The Crank is at TDC! Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 The brass plug is where the chain oiler goes on earlier engines. You can install one if you want, but it's not required. 1 Quote Link to comment

Doctoraudio Posted June 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Hahaha I thought it may be another way of proving TDC! Okay. Should, I rinse the internals of the blocks one more time? I am about the glue the dip stick tube in. I made a pipe expander using a pencil and a drywall screw! I drained the oil out of the other engine. So I can start prepping the oil pan. And move the Sump tube to the newer engine. Is there anything I should be looking at at this time? My goal is not to move the crank until the block has 4 quarts in it. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 add a washer. What you can do is when everything is ready fill with oil, drop the oil pump and spindle. Put the oil pump back in without it. Get a piece of round metal bar about 1/4" and hammer one end flat like a screwdriver blade. Insert down the distributor hole and use an electric drill to spin it counter clockwise. Oil will be pushed through the oil filter and all the galleries and pre fill them with oil. You'll hear gurgling and oil will drool out the cam lobes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Doctoraudio Posted June 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Update: I bought some parts today. They won't be here for awhile! I couldn't acquire, another engine back plate. I am going to use the back plate from the L18. Question: Is there a 240mm flywheel that has 6 bolts? I found this in another thread. Since I have a brand new clutch kit. I would like to use it. It is 240mm. What do you guys suggest, i do? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 All 720 Z24 and Z20 truck and KA24E and DE truck engines used the 240mm clutch/PP/flywheel. The PP and flywheel have 9 mounting bolts. If you go with a 240mm flywheel you can use a 280zx turbo, 300zx turbo clutch and pressure plate, but this is a bit extreme. You will also need to select the proper release bearing housing to compliment your PP selection. 1 Quote Link to comment
iceman510 Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I thought you already had the right flywheel? 1 Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted June 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I have this flywheel. And a 240mm clutch kit. I have decided to not bother with the 240mm kit. Cleaned up well. I spent 10 mins cleaning with wire-wheel and a pad. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 That pulley is nice because it's A- removable with 6 bolts, and B- it has a built in damper, and C- there are a few different pulley combinations that bolt to it. But for a 510, I don't think any of those pulleys would line up with L 510 accessory pulleys. Am I right or wrong. It's been a while. Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted June 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Should, I save it for someone in the future? I hate to throw away stuff that is in nice shape. I can see I will have a box of parts I have acquired on the past 12 years. Like the clutch kit, for a 240mm flywheel! What do you suggest, I should do with these parts? I will save them, for now.

Doctoraudio Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Well I have been scrubbing the engine bay. With wire brushes and scrubbing pads. Making sure to flush the corners many times! 1 Quote Link to comment

Doctoraudio Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Question: Am I going to need a Flywheel shim? If so what size should I use? Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Flywheel shim? For what? No shim goes between the crank and flywheel. That's for auto trans. 1 Quote Link to comment

Doctoraudio Posted June 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Today, I closed up the engine! I placed 4 quarts of oil in it. I am going to let it sit for the rest of the day! I am going to the Formula E. I have driven my car on this track once. It today they will be hitting 200mph with electric. Sure has come a long way since the White Zombie. Anyway! Tomorrow, I will put the new oil filter on and then try an cycle the oil so it flows thru the engine and wet all bearings and mating points!

Doctoraudio Posted June 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I have another question. How much oil should I put in this engine? The Z22 can hold 4.4 liters. That is 4.6 quarts? At 3.8 liters the vertical line in the (L). 2 Quote Link to comment
