Home Built Z 'Full video build'
@Home Built by Jeff I have to tell you something funny. My wife was waiting on me to get ready for bed last night. It was late and she could here me bumping around in the kitchen. She told me "then I heard that Australian guy and I quit waiting" I was watching your video!

Valve stem replacement w/ head in car
I'm sort of with Zed on this one. If it ain't broke; don't break it. I would run the heavier weight oil and save up for parts. That is unless there is some risk of being ticketed for some kind of violation. Otherwise I would just run it.

Deal? Or No Deal?
I have never understood that!!! I don't want to trade. Just sell for cash and buy what you want. Just never made sense to me

Jerry, What is your method for figuring out which bolt goes where? I don't think my memory is up for that!

Rebuilt engine won't "first" start
Or if the engine hasn't been run in a while the numbers could be low from that too, but I suspect the throttle plate is a pretty good guess.

R180 half shaft dislodged from differential.
What type of brake rotors are on the car? I have found that drilled or sometimes even slotted rotors can make sounds like this at low speeds.

Rebuilt engine won't "first" start
I once rebuilt an engine and I didn't check the valve lash from the machine shop. The valves weren't seating, so there was no compression. Won't run like that...

There are factory plates that go between the sway bar bushings and the frame rails. I think they help reinforce the frame rail and spread the loads out

Exhaust Fell Off...

If the paint is really fresh than I would say it's worth more than that. It's hard to tell but the hood looks messed up. But that might be dust or some dirt. If the paint is pretty good, I would say it's a 5-6k car
