What's the weight of the lightened 240mm? Might be a good compromise . Mine weighs in at 17. Hybridz guy is using 350z flywheel -250mm - chrome Molly 16 lbs Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I can't wait to finish my shop to start playing with sheet metal. I appreciate your effort to document so thoroughly these processes. I used to post up my projects all the time , so I know it takes effort to do this . I have a MILLER 210 that's needing to be used and my TIG skills needing to be increased. I love working sheet metal and doing fab work, but have lots to learn. Thanks for your contribution to the Z community Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Make sure linkage isn't binding Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Sounds like a vacuum leak . Did a plug of some kind pop off? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Jeff will pop in here but he does the 2.7 the other method. 2.8 block with 2.4 crank Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

What head is going on there Jeff Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

It will have to be - not turning back now. Getting close Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I've been running this engine for a while, and I've done several compression checks - so I would be surprised to find something now. I am curious what numbers I will come up with at 10:5:1 !! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

That engine has many hard miles on it so if it was broke I would know it. It lapped in like the rest . It's funny that I got a lot of crap for making my notches so big on my last block - but I guess I went to small here, and off target. I didn't see this until after my head was reassembled after lapping valves. I'm going to run it ! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Sorry Captain, didnt mean to not say thank you anyway. Valves looked great and cleaned up nice- the piston bore was something else though :-0 looks like #1 didn't get clearances correctly on the notching so it cleared itself. Tough motors these are! needless to say I opened that up a little. Pay no concern to the divot in the middle of the piston . Just hit the piston stop too many times timing my cam

Damn that's rough Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Did I say somewhere easy to find? Somewhere you can reach! I think your a bit paranoid that someone is watching - if they could really even tell what I'm doing. Give me a break. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Valve cover intake is wall art at this point, but might be re - utilized later. Haven't done much of any valve lapping , so this is kind of new for me. Using a Permatex stuff Jegs sells and used my cordless drill . Just wanted to get a uniform seat surface and to check for discrepancies . Still need to do more work on the injector notched. I thought I had them big enough- but could see I didn't once intake was bolted up . Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Well it's been a slow process , on step at a time . Trying to get a new shop built and doing this at the same time is almost too much. Got the wiring sorted and fuel lines plumbed and tested. The plan was to use a fuel injected head , but I wanted to do some work on my MN47 before I bolted it on. I decided to just make the E 88 a fuel injected head instead . It was going to take less work in the end and I know it's a good working head, so less unknowns getting the FI working is better for me. I drilled the head for the N42 intake and notched the ports for the injectors . I also shaved off another .020 off the head to get me to 37cc. The hardest part was drilling the head , there isn't much room for error and it's a bit of a challenge to mount the head for drilling to get it square. Going to do a quick valve lapping and head cleaning and call it good. The weather is getting nice and I don't have a Z

That will work !!

Why don't you just try some 34 or 36 chokes first? So you started at 30 chokes? I'd keep bumping up and see if you can maintain drivability that you can live with. I know webers are easier to get parts for than the Mikunis. I was going to machine out my 32's to 34 Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

You've checked the supply line from Float bowl to nozzle that it's not collapsing ? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I'll also say that it's a linkage issue? Are you watching the ends of the butterfly at the carb body and seeing motion while working the linkage. Like said above - if no suction(air) , no boom Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Cliff, Your not really running that filter are you? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I used that Float tool and it is handy. Problem is that the tube(plastic) is epoxied in place and the fuel started to eat at it- in my case anyway. Now granted - I left them on the bowls over a couple of days while in the garage trouble shooting. If the tubes were actually threaded and tefloned in place I don't think it would have been a problem. I did send mine back. In theory it worked well , but function was limited. In the end- I relied on a set of depth mics and the 10 turn rule for the nozzles. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Your going to have those days. I don't miss my dizzy or any of the related parts to it Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

It's the only music I will hear for at least a couple of months I guess I have my videos- but doesn't quite cut it Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

It should work and I've read of numerous people that have done it. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Pcv bung. So your engine will be burning oil from day one- doesn't seem right- ha! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
