  1. I have installed a high out put self contained alternator that I got from Z specialties for 209 bucks . This has an internal voltage regulator and bolts rite up.
  2. This thing is really stuck and I can not get it off the cam , so I will be looking for another N42 head or a set of cam towers. If anyone has a head or good cam towers let me know Thanks for the replies to my questions
  3. I have one I would sell but I live Livingston Mt so I dont know what it would cost to ship ?
  4. thanks for the help guys . I will try again to remove the cam tower, I do not plan on reuseing any of the valvetrain components so I need to get the tower free from the old cam. So if I damage the tower I will need to replace it ,so back to the second part of my question. do you think I would need to replace all five. This is the N42 head will I need to get them from another N42 or will other castings work N47 etc.
  5. I just started looking into my other motor to get an idea on what kind of shape it was in to see what surprises in might be hidding for me when I rebuild it . The first thing I discovered was when I removed the oil pan I found the broken off end of a scew driver and a spring. So I figurede I better dig a little deeper . I pulled of the timming chane cover and discovered that the tensioner was destroyed, the screwdriver !. Then when I tried to slide the cam out it wouldnt come out, so I unbolted the cam towers the all slid off easily except the center one it spins but will not slide off the cam. This is the reason for my post , shouldnt it slide rite off? If I have to replace it will I need to replace all five ? Where could I find new cam towers? any help would sure be appreciated.
  6. I just joined your site as it seems to be inhabited by nice people.I am building my first z, I always wanted one so I finally got myself one for my 40th birthday . I payed $1500 for it from a "swine rancher". It had sat for a few years as a home for mice and a collector of rain water. I have decide to build this car for auto-cross F prepared. My resources for parts and info are pretty limited as I live in Livingston Montana, so I am looking forward to haveing some good folks to ask questions of and to bounce ideas off of. I wish you all the best. sincerly joe. P.S. I am not good with a computer so please forgive my mistakes.
