'94 ZR-1 Engine/Car Rebuild
Hello Everybody!
After like two years since I bought the car from Kris and less than 10 miles behind the wheel (the car was impounded after few kilometers away from the customs office and after 3 days in italy because of expired temporary license plates and it costed me a "small fortune" to get it back) I decided to begin a big overhaul of the car. I started immediately by fixing some small issues around the car, but everytime I removed something I found something worse behind it... At the end a couple of month ago I decided to remove the engine and start from everything from scratch. In this thread I will share my experience/story of the rebuild of the car and I hope to find some help from you guys. When I got stopped by the police... When it arrived at home At the workshop with one of its sisters The engine just before the removal Almost ready to be removed The engine is on the ground! Lets the nightmare begin First surprise: camshaft lobe tips are ruined (seems like pitting) On both banks Crankshaft doesn't look bad Last edited by albeR/To; 10-28-2019 at 10:34 AM. |

Wish I could see your pictures, but unfortunately cannot. Keep at it, it's worth the effort.[emoji41]

Re: '94 ZR-1 Engine/Car Rebuild
What caused you to remove the engine in the first place? I seem to have missed the background story. What could have wreaked havoc in the entire engine?
