Stay tuned for updates.

Hello Jim,
I will be there. What are we working on?

I'll plan to be there both days... I've got a 5k with my daughters on Sat morning and a soccer game with my son on Sun morning, so I won't be able to get there until later in the mornings.

What are you working on this time?

On Saturday, 31 May, we plan to install Yun's 380 cubic inch LT5 back into his Black 1994 ZR-1. Step 2 will be to install the flywheel, clutch, transmission and drive line. Then we will make all the connections to the motor and start that beast up.

It may take two days to accomplish all of that so I am scheduling a Maintenance Weekend.

Stay tuned for the specific start times, but as always everyone is invited, come when you can and leave when you need to.

If anyone else has work they would like to schedule, let me know.

WMW is at the garage behind 195 W Main St, Westminster, MD 21157. Call me at 443-244-1347 if you have any questions.

I am soooo ready for this! It's been over a year since the blown head.

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

I will plan on being there to share in the joy.....Yun is more then ready!

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

I'm in, see everybody on Saturday.

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Since I am Logistics on this trip (transporting the motor to the installation locaton), count me in! Better put a tracker in that sucker, I may lose my way to Jim's hours.....LOL!!

Nelson,

Thank you for the offer of the engine hoist. Yes we would like to use it. Drop it off at my house when it is convenient for you, or I can come up and get it.

Thanks guys! I am psyched. Did I spell right?!

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Yun,

Very excited for you... Long time coming and it'll be worth the wait!!!

:cheers:

When were done installing then engine do we break a bottle of Champagne on the engine block after it starts?

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Wait a minute, I agreed to help install the motor, I didn't know it was actually expected to start.....

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Hey Darrin, Remember all those 1994 ZR-1 parts I loaned you last month? Well, I need them back before Saturday.

Jim

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Then either you or Yun better start checking EBay, I'd choose the expedited shipping if I were you....

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Off the black one sitting in your garage?!

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

You guys crack me up....that is why we all get along so well.
Nelson, before we break the bottle we drink it!

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

That sounds good to me.

Nelson

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

I'll be there. Can't wait to see/assist an engine install on one of these.

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

I don't remember, it was so long ago that I sold the body panels I don't remember what color they were... With your talent for details I'm sure you can have her lookin good in no time..

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Does that mean I have to bring back those shiney wheels that I got from Jim?
Nelson

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Shhhh!!!!!

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Hi Wazoo friends... I will be there in spirit. Yun, congrats on making your black beast better than new! Hope all goes well this weekend. Take video to share the start up.
Miss you guys,
Bert

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Hey! Thanks Bert.
What a group, huh? This was 5 years in the making.

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

This sounds like fun! Supposed to be a nice day tomorrow so I'm going to make the trip down from Jersey

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Great! I look forward to seeing you again.

Jim

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

Yun, looks like the airhorn made it

Re: Save the Date - WMD - Saturday, 31 May 2014
 

We had a great Day 1 of the WMW. The engine is in the car. Tomorrow we will continue connecting everything and installing the drive train.

Sixteen people with 13 ZR-1's attended and everyone had a good time turning wrenches and socializing.

I posted some pictures here:

Jim
Thanks for the time and effort you put in helping me yesterday. The "Infl Res" light is still off and hopefully will remain that way. I owe you additional thanks as the problematic "Service Ride Control" light is also off now. Rethinking the actions taken yesterday to tighten the very loose left front shock & sensor, somehow I recalled having read about a similar elusive solution to a similar problem. Bingo, we may have over tightened the nut holding it in place. I backed the nut off about 45 degrees, tried it and it worked.
Before I watched you taking the assembly apart, I didn't have a clue how these things came apart, let alone how they would go back together.
I look forward to further participation in Wazoo and your friendship. Come visit us'n in the Mountain State and I'll personally introduce you to "Mountain Mama".
And so it goes.....

I am glad that we were able to help. Good job correcting that LF shock sensor.

When we removed the Tech 1 from your car, the adapter must have stayed on the ADL connector under your dash. If you get a chance, please take a look and see if it is there.

Thanks, I look forward to getting together again soon.

Jim
