What I Did Today

Thank you.

Took them apart and soaked them in lacquer thinner for a day.  Then blasted the grime off with air.  Found a video on youtube that had a very simple solution to the soda blaster I'd built but didn't work very well.  He put a small nut inside the pick up end to reduce the volume of soda it sucks up.  Worked like a champ and only used 6 lbs of soda!  That's $3 for 6 boxes at Dollar General.  Then slowly blend everything together with 0000 steel wool.

Fred, I'm aghast that your beloved Z-L is outside! In the winter! Argh! I think we need a quickstarter doo-wah for a garage for Fred.

 

Cheers, Mike (whose beloved Zed is in the garage instead of the Subaru daily driver...I clean the snow off of it)

siteunseen, are you using the ZTherapy rebuild kit?

Yes I am.  After watching the DVD I thought I had the wrong float valves, they weren't Grose Valves like in the DVD.  So after a quick Google search I learned they were no longer available.

 

 At first I was going to rebuild a spare set I bought but when I realized how badly they'd been messed with I decided to go ahead and rebuild the original ones that were on the car.  After taking them apart I can see I was driving half of a 240Z.

 

About to watch the DVD one more time and go put them together this morning.

All of us former Marines know about "NevrDull"..."shine that brass, Marine, I want to see my face in it." It will wear off in time as it's petroleum based, and I'm not too sure how it will do with the occasional gasoline spill.

 

Cheers, Mike
