soon to be LZ2.3 521 :)

[uberkevin]

I'd have to hacsaw them off!

I haven't a sawzaw.

[uberkevin]

New page..










New photo.


New bushings, I needed one side so I thought I might as well get all new ones. 8 In fact.

[uberkevin]

Oh and I installed the rad, its beat but it's do. I see a few things that need to be fixed on it.

Ticking coming from the head, valve/cam sound it seems. So I let her run a little while to get warm. I'll check the valve lash again, hot this time.
Sounds way different! Not as ballsey.. Not as throaty..
I liked it more the other way. Loud!

[uberkevin]

Been thinking about looking for an oil cooler from a zx, for the LZ.
If I recall there's an 83 at this place.

[flatcat19]

You do have a sawzall. Its at my house.


I'm sure everyone here wants you to take this saw all away from me.

[uberkevin]

Hhaha! That is mine!



I forgot! But its not a battery one. And I have no where to plug in.
Hacksaw it is, I'm getting it! I have faith in my self that I can fix it up a little nicer.
Its in damn good shape for being 40 something years old.

First gen RX7 is a common oil cooler to use...

[uberkevin]

I'll look into that thanks..


I have no phone. it wont charge so pictures and progress in this thread may slow down.
I need to call in sick or something so i can pick up the transmission i need to swap front cases... i should also pick up a 520/521 one piece drive line.
any one here know if ita fit.? ive read a few people say a few diffternt things... ill look...

I have the bottom end all torqued to spec and greased up.
ill pick up some new core plugs, paint them and slap them in.

[uberkevin]

the junk yard doesn't have anything i need/ want right now. No oil cooler adapter nor cooler. they have nothing but 79 280zxs, a few other z cars.
i could get the one on ebay.


Been thinking I want new springs for the u67. not sure.

[uberkevin]

Girl friend bought me a 25 dollar 521 bench seat!




Needs a little work.

[DRIVEN]

...they have nothing but 79 280zxs...

What do they want for strut assys? It might be worth grabbing them to sell for profit.

[uberkevin]

They are spoken for. What year zx stuff are most people using?

[DRIVEN]

Kind of a trick question. All ZXs are desirable and are supposed to be the same. I was over at Klotz's house and we were measuring some up when we discovered that there are apparently 2 different versions. 1 had a 7 degree angle and the other had 10 degree IIRC. Both will work in a 510/610/710/B210 but one version is a bolt in while the other needs camber plates.

[uberkevin]

Well shit i will head back when i can and take some notes
I want to say theres three zx's one might only have one strut..

But i cant remember.

[uberkevin]

I still want an oil cooler, this meaning i need that adapter.

Or is there another i could use? Aftermarket is what im asking.

[DRIVEN]

Theoretically, any aftermarket adapter that could be used with with a PH8A/1515 filter might work. Check Ford listings?

[flatcat19]

We needz to go to TPz, yo!

[uberkevin]

Tpz?


And eBay's got nice adapter plates..
30 bucks isn't bad. And then there the cooler, fittings and lines.

I get paid the 18th I was hoping to grab that transmission I need from that guy, flatcat.

Also need to bring the 620 over. Haven't touched it in a while! Nor him. No time really. Its to far from his house I think. Flatcats is closer for him.

Valve Spring Outer 13203-22010
Valve Spring Inner 13204-22010

is what i found for part numbers.
Looks like they still use them?
So i may be getting new springs.

[flatcat19]

Why do you need new springs? Or are you chasing comp springs?
