Lol decisions, decisions..

Now if only Wes could make up his mind on if he wants the motor and how he's going to pick it up... I only ask him 15 times a day. haha

You're stressin me out, guy!

I bet you're right. Fluid doesn't compress very well. Other people with ZE's in good shape have pulled numbers in the 200's-210's, from what I've seen. He guessed there were about 60k miles on it, said it was super clean inside and out when he got it. Apparently the manual tensioner is because the hydraulic one couldn't keep up with the new Interprep valve springs because they're so much stiffer than stock. I feel better about things now that I talked to him again last night.

Iirc, I pulled between 170's-180's on my current FS, burning oil and all. I was surprised, I thought one cylinder would be way lower, but they were all acceptably similar.

Gases compress. Liquids don't. They're both fluids.

Remind me to punch you in your scientifically correct face next time I see you.

I had liquids typed in there and replaced it with fluid because I like the way it sounded better. (rolleyes)

Hey Ivan, just chill out and let a man enjoy his fluids!

Ugh.. I have a bit of spring cleaning to do to the car. Let's just say that:

Summer tires + hard cornering + sharp home made seat brackets + emergency can of Monster under the seat = ...well, I think you can see where this is going....

 

[roy obanion]

You should get rid of the seat brackets..

 

[PrinceValorum]

I do love the seats, though! They almost make up for not having a rear sway bar...

 

[PrinceValorum]

Picked up a motor and a few other goodies today.

Packed to the gills

Yes but what is it?

 

[ajkulish]

The valve cover I assume

 

[JKPgt96]

Front valve cover..the tube in the picture is the one that runs along the front of the front valve cover, and back to the IM.

 

[ajkulish]

and you can see the blue valve cover in one of the pics.

 

[JKPgt96]

Ahhh...so you can! lol

Hey John, know KL's much? haha. Good eyes.

 

[JKPgt96]

The bolt/sealing washer for the VC is a dead giveaway! lol
