Don't forget about these books...."LITTLE YELLOW RIVER" written by I. P. Daily and "THE BIG BROWN PILE" written by Sir Squatenleavett ROFL

I think you'll find that the original seats sit no higher and or possibly lower than the Recaros do. Typically with after market seats, there is usually an issue with getting them to sit low enough...as compared to stock seats. Fortunitely, the stock seats had spacers under the slides for hieght and or angle adjustment. FYI, I have a set of 1970 seats I'm willing to part with! They have been recovered at some time and are currently look in pretty darn good shape, with maybe the exception of needing new foam and suspension. I'm located in SoCal.

Here's a suggestion and its been working for me the past 3 years. Take that new truck and do the following....clay it, apply a really good wax job, and then, each time you wash the truck, just apply one of the available detailing sprays. After following this procedure for the last 3 years (excluding the first time clay and wax), my truck's paint still looks new and shinny. It takes me about 15 minutes to wipe her down with the detailing spray and buff it to a nice sheen. Haven't waxed it since!!!

Bill, you post whore you. I applaud your efforts on possible causes but, I don't think a blown head gasket, a cracked block, or a stuck valve will cause fuel to enter the oil system!!! However, an overly large set of boobs could do it! How you might ask......being distracted during engine assembly!!?

Yon might try STEREO REVIEW magazine.

Well, I'm certainly no authority on the subject but, can offer up this bit of info.....One thing you should pay close attention to is, if you are planning on installing chrome rings, I believe they require a specific cross hatching (and specific stone grit) of the cylinder bores in order for the chrome rings to seat properly. If done incorrectly, they maynot ever seat properly. On the other hand, cast iron rings will seat rather quickly in a cylinder with just mild honing. Also, as far as the rpm during break in goes, keeping it under 4K sounds correct but, many an engine builder has recommended short periods of run time, under a mild load, at various rpm below the 4K rpm. It always best to contact the ring manufacture for their recommendations.

To answer the question of, Where can I get replacement insulation to replace the existing? SUMMIT RACING has a number of items that will do!

Sadly enough, there's more truth than poetry in that post! Excellent Chris.

Outstanding guys!!! Nothing better than a six pack of beautiful Z cars.

like Chris said....you done good! g/fine, the job of the cam chain tensioner to to maintain zero slack in the chain.

Hi Will, I looked at the cables on the site you posted. These cable assemblies are intended for a "pull" type application. The cables you will need are a " push/pull" type and are generally made with a solid wire, not a muti-strand wire. You might consider just disassembling your exsiting units, cleaning, lubricating, and re-installing. Should yield a much smoother operation....and no modifications required. If you choose to purchase new push/pull cables, other than OEM, be prepared for some work, getting them to adapt. Good luck Will. Tom

Sorry to hear about your MISPLACEMENT of the key & original key chain. You are just too youg to be doing thoughs sort of things. They will likely show up and be right where you left them....hopefully! Good luck!

Geeez Blake....I was just agreeing with your reply regarding production aluminum radiators and adding a bit of info regarding aftermarket aluminum radiators! No need to clarify or rationalize your reply. Hope you didn't think I was trying to rain on your parade? I for one, most always respect your posts.

Jason ceratinly is a daring and calculating man....and patient too!!! 11 more minutes and its time to hide the salami.....

With an almost absolute use of aluminum radiators in just about every form of motorsports, I think its safe to say there is certainly an advantage! I suspect one reason is, that they provide the best heat dissipation vs weight ratio. Regarding their use in production cars, I'd have to agree with Blake....as they are certainly more cost effective to manufacture.

Interesting reply Arne! 1.) I'll buy into that. 2 & 3.) If not a problem, why the insults? So, having a positive and optimistic outlook is limited??? With the amount of information you have on me or anyone else for that matter, its just common curtesy to say or imply nothing rather than provide your own dreamed up opion of someone. 4.) Your suprised....it seems that most everyone replying to your original post must have felt the focus was on how your wife feels about you and Z parts. Again, you keep digging a deeper hole with your replies!?!? Reading comprehension can be a fun subject! I'M DONE....Have a nice day Arne :classic:

Always more than you happen to have on hand!

Well Arne, you've provided the best and only insult so far. I quess I must strive to become as attitude correct as you! Funny the things one will say and then do quite the opposite....as in "I won't bit on that"...and then bit down till the teeth meet... ROFL Interesting how explaining some factual observations about my friends seems make you think I have an attitude problem! It seems to me that with comments like..."You've obviously have not met the right woman yet, which doesn't surprise me much as your attitude (like many people in our culture these sorry days) seems to be extremely self centered"...you may be the one branishing the ATTITUDE!!! Come to think of it, I tend to look upon these days as really good days...maybe that's because I try to look at thinks with a positive and optimistic attitude! I'm sure however, you intend no malice in your reply but, that you are just venting due to an overly correct attitude! That's OK....I'm not offended by your reply, just having some fun with it!

Wow, I feel a little sorry for some of you married guys! A large number of my friend, who are married, spout the same stories about their wives! What ever happened to the MAN of the house? It seems that more and more men are rolling over to every wish of their spouse.....they're girly men as I see it (some call them METROSEXUALS)! Why is it, that its mostly the womens way or the highway? Unbelievable, as it may seem, these girly men just whimp out and go along with the wife's wishes....I'm not talking about trying to keep a happy compromise but, totally complying to every wish! Sounds to me as though these women have a real problem maintaining a compromise in their relationship, not the man! Oh, I love being single....got my toys, don't have to listen to constant bitching, Don't have to walk on thin ice during PMS, if I need to get layed....not a problem, schedualing time for myself is a not brainer, shall I continue? :tapemouth P.S. I'm ready for the nasty comments now!!! P.S.S. Vicky, having met you in person I don't include you as one of the undesirable spouses......so please be kind!

Not to rain on your parade but, with the amount of rust you have mentioned it is more than likely going to have lots of rust in places you can't see! These old Z cars are sooooo pron to rust, especially from your neck of the woods. However, this is certainly a premir place to acquire information on your Z. Good luck!

They should work just fine. While your at it, install some nice aftermarket pads to improve the braking performance and maybe some SS flex lines to the calipers....they will aid in the brake feel.

OK Bill you can be certain now, that Enrique loves you....otherwise, why all the attention given???

Well, It's likely a new O-ring is in order. When you go to install it, check the surfaces the O-ring will bear against for smoothness. Correct any inperfections on the sealing sufaces as necessary. As I remember, the sender needs a bit of TLC to keep it centered in the tank opening. Use a little bit of silicone grease on the O-ring before you put it on.
