Re: New here, just bought '90 ZR-1
Welcome! It will all work out whatever you should decide.
You don't have to buy new parts for everything as there is a fair amount of used available. Depending on the damage, heads can be repaired (new seats, little welding & grinding in the chamber, etc.) I have "some" used parts that could be helpful. There should also be used pistons & liners out there from engine upgrades. I have all the gaskets & seals available. (Thanks for the recommendation Tom!) The Registry is the best tool in a members box. Great folks here always willing to help. Good luck with the project.

Re: New here, just bought '90 ZR-1
Oh yeah I have the head you need with valves, I have pistons and liners if you need those as well.
Just hit us up plenty of good used parts out there. When you get it home pull that baby out and lets see what you got to work with! of course do not be afraid to ask around here about this alot of us have done our own work on these cars and know what your facing.

Re: New here, just bought '90 ZR-1
Yeah, it's in the garage now. Haven't got a chance to tear into the engine yet. My brother had his car in our garage cus he was working on it today, so I had to wait. It's a 2 car garage but the other side is occupied with stuff, lol. I didn't get it into the garage until late Thursday nite. I'm planning to start working on getting the head off on Friday.
I did clean it up real good, it was filthy inside and needed a good washing outside. It looks a lot better now after a good vacuuming and washing. Engine bay is still filthy though. Gonna have to give it a good cleaning. Probably will pull the engine to give it a going over. Just from looking at the cam covers, looks like he was trying to get some of the bolts off, but they must have been stuck/stripped cus a few of the bolt heads are drilled up and ground on. Those will be fun to get out, uggh. Guess I need some cam cover bolts too. This guy was not much of a mechanic. Luckaly, I am, lol. I'll post some better pics of its current state tomorrow. |

Pictures!
Well, its in the garage now. Here are some pictures of the car, the extra parts that came with it and all the owners kit stuff, window sticker, etc. Before I pull the engine out, I want to pull the driver's side head off. I'm anxious to see what the damage looks like.
