Make any progress? I'm interested in this thread.

Wow! I hope I can build my ZX that nice. Great job!

New belts are on as of yesterday morning. Took it for a test drive and blew a heater core line right where it comes out of the block. I swear, I'm going to have a brand new car by the time its done breaking. I think I'm just going to block it off, the climate control doesn't work anyway.

Aaaaaand I lost the alternator belt... Damn it.

I don't know. My spark issue came from a bad ignition module. I honestly could not say.

Got it fixed today. My valves were way out of spec, and I lost the retaining spring, the rocker and the shim off of #4 intake valve. Got it all put back together and adjusted. Runs smooth, valve train is quiet... I also put in a new ignition module. Good stuff! Thanks to everyone for the support!

Before I bought my Z it was my goal to put a 20BT into and old Opel GT. Maybe I will someday. A 2000 pound, 650 horse toy just sounds like fun!

Not yet. I didn't get a chance to do anything with the car this weekend. I do have a head on the way, thanks to Nops. We'll see how it all goes with the swap.

I'm going to pull the valve cover this weekend and have a look. I plan on buying another head anyway, spares are always nice. Might as well polish everything while I'm at it.

What about Techno Toy Tuning?

Impressive! Love it.

I got cut off by some prick on the highway. Tried to drop a gear from 5th to to 4th but caught 2nd instead. The tach needle buried hard at 7k, only for maybe, maybe a second. Then it was running like crap. I feel horrible. I yucked up bad....

Doesn't matter now... I think I bent the valves in #4 cylinder yesterday. #&?!@*

It was more like nasty dirty oil than grease...

Yep. Module. Cleaned it, no issues with the car dying now.
