(not sayin' much tho'; I haven't gotten around to yankin' that modded gasket from my TB, so it's still a LTx ATM - I won't have enough air to fill the new OBX's and 3" PE pipes that I got from Jeff)

Looks good!


What # is it? My '90 Red / Cognac 2794 (before changing to Black int + '92 later body conversion).
1990 Number 72

And I know I am preaching to the choir....but all three Zs I have Maintained/restored receive as a minimum this top end Restoration....and all three had oil, dirt, leaves, as well as bolts lost beneath the Plenum.....and one had old injectors under the front of the engine.

If I had the gaskets in hand and new coolant hoses.....this restoration I would expect to take maybe a day with the wrenches. It is almost a must to have a high pressure washer connected directly to HOT water. The Transmission, Under the engine, front of engine, front suspension.....and particularly around the Oil Filter Adapter and below the Dipstick seem to be places where the most oil has been spilled over the years. Also have on hand a can of engine degreaser. Spray with degreaser and let it sit for a few minutes before hitting it with Hot High Pressure water.
