I'm sorry for not reading up the thread but something that I did once was put the valve cover gasket on upside down. There's a difference at the front and if you get it wrong it'll leave a little gap on the thermostat housing side. Sorry again I don't know about the hissing, could be a snake up in there?

I forgot that you all switch to a higher price "summer blend" to reduce smog. That's a run around for more profit I think, charge higher for cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving kind off thing. I'm glad I won't live a whole longer. I love life but it's getting really hard to stay positive these days. I'm getting screwed every which a way it seems and our leaders don't seem to care. Reverse immigration? like a reverse mortgage.

My first and last electric contraption, I hope.

Did? Still do. Although only half the seasoning packet at my age. Z parts are expensive!

That's one of the many free FSM downloads this forum has.

Just topped off at $2.75 a gallon. Most others are at $2.85 now. Six 2 sided pumps all shut down but one. They're learning not to be greedy finally. No gas and nobody stops for beer or milk.

Another thing I'm not sure has been mentioned is our straight 6 L motors are pretty much identical to the older Mercedes and BMW six cylinder motors. Surely there's more mechanics besides the Porsche one you've used in the past. As the L motors were used in north America from 1970 to 1984 there has to be a mechanic in Panama that is familiar with the motor.

The only reason I see removing the head is if you plan on taking it to a machine shop and have the work done. You could drive it to your mechanic and have them replace the seal or seals without removing the head. If you plan to give it a try yourself the valve spring tool would be much cheaper for head ON replacement. The one I have for head OFF is expensive and harder to find. Question for the gang as I'm not sure if one of these would work or not. I bought it for something I cannot remember what though but I've pretty much only worked on Zs since the late 80s. I know the cam style copressor is the easiest but wouldn't one of these $20 compressors work for one seal?

I think that would look pretty cool on your gold, right?, car. You should photoshop it the way you want it and look at a a bunch. That's what I did, even though I'm shitty at photoshop it still helped me decide.

Looks like your's came with the bolts for the rear 3 piece. I ended up buying stainless locally and buffing them to a nice shine. futofab.com didn't include the bolts when I bought mine. Maybe they do now?

I ordered the black ones from futofab.com but they got back ordered. Lucky for me I was waiting on the MSA black Friday sale to get black Rewinds when I found out the bumpers weren't available. I decided to go with the gunmetal grey with the polished lip and the chrome bumpers. I'm glad it worked out that way. Too much chrome and glass that all mix in together to give it a nice look.

If I remember right, the wire under the seat is the one that finally made the light go off so I'll plug the G/Y back and see what happens. Thanks

What does it warn me of?

Closer...

Mine's a '77 with a ZX distributor so no help with the last two questions and a maybe on #1 at the brakes. My green/yellow stripe goes to the proportion valve down low. Mine is unhooked and I'm almost positive it was done so the brake light inside the gauge would go off. There was another wire under the passenger's seat I unhooked to finally get it to quit burning. I check the fluid all the time and rarely drive it but when I do it has good braking for that old of a car. Not a big fan of caution (idiot) lights on the dash. Fuel, temp and oil pressure is all I care about. 👍

112 is my favorite. She had pissed on panties.

Blue/orange/green/brown/slate White/red/black/yellow/violet Y2K upgrades for 2 years. I'll never forget the color code.

2nd oldest profession.

If he has an dark plug at #4 have the plug wires been swapped around as a test. Loose fitting wire caps could be an issue with a lot easier fix. Just saying but I'm sure I'll get flogged.

What about I try with the hatch seal first. That's the one that lets all my exhaust fumes in. Then I'll do the passenger's door and see what happens. I never open that door. Thanks

You talking about these I'm sure because I bought the complete set about 10 years ago. Got them from a guy after he sold his Z. Glad I haven't yanked the OE yet.

Andy thought Opie was losing his mind control. One of my favorite episodes.

I'll take a wig of shavings @Captain Obvious, I know you have some.

It does't look good.
