Re: Pulling the plenum / IH Some pics !!
Wiping wiping wiping .. Before I get any further ... I noticed something .. When pulling the bell housing I remember some bolts being hard to reach .. After I pulled the coil packs there are easily accessible bolts on the bell housing from the top . Maybe it's a good thing I decided to do both at the same time !

Yes that's called the rule of "While you are there you may as well...". Basically the rule states that you take advantage of doing one or more things since they are already adjacent to the initial thing you started out to do in the first place.

Everyone should follow that rule Goes right along with my Standard Top End Restoration which usually takes three days. One day to remove, fix, and modify stuff (including a steam cleaning), One day to think and let it dry out, and one day to put it back together and take it for a ride That fits right in with getting Gaskets and stuff from Jerry which usually takes only two days from time of placed order Minimum Restoration of a 1990 ZR-1

There's 3 on P side and 5 on D side (although they're on the coil mounting grid bolt, on '90) Looking good so far there

Re: Pulling the plenum / IH Some pics !!
What are all those ground straps for ? I haven't seen them or are they screwed down onto the bell housing ?
Got the secondary blades out and pulled the shafts out tomorrow I'll get to plugging them and then onto the clutch ! Any thoughts on cleaning the valves or secondary runners ? Obviously don't want to get crud in there but they're pretty gunked up. Fuel may clean them up slightly over time I'm hoping. |

Re: Pulling the plenum / IH Some pics !!
There ARE 2 BRAIDED grounding straps on the bellhousing - 1 / side.
The ones in my hand - on the P side, are on the back end of the head [circled, in your snappic). Good Q - what ARE they? I cannot find them in FSM 8A??? But the 5x was on the Coil Pac mounting plate, D side back corner. I can't find THEM in FSM either. You didn't see 'em on yours? Another shot of 'em here:
