  1. I think I can get it finished by the end of March. We shall see. I pretty much underestimate the amount of time to do anything by a lot.
  2. Well done! I like "After tireless and borderline obsessive searching..." That describes me more days of a week than not. I haven't been very active on Hybridz.org for several years, but have been restoring a 240z for 5 years now and that has required a lot of tireless and borderline obsessive searching.
  3. Damn. That is not a happy diff at the moment. Perhaps the debris hasn't caused insurmountable damage. I am hoping for the best.
  4. Bizarre. So, assembly lube inside the bolt holes... (e.g. mains and rods), causing hydro-lock. Yeah, hadn't thought of that.
  5. I found a few minutes to mock up fitment of the new radiator. This one is made by Griffin. It is three inches thick with 2 rows (1.25 wide each I think) in the core. Size-wise, it is a pretty good fit. This will be replacing the JTR setup I had in the car previously. Before the engine blew up in August of 2015, I recall seeing the temperature needle on the stock temp gauge going slightly above its normal position. This radiator should achieve an improvement with regard to that issue.
  6. Thanks Rossman. Work I plan to do before I start this engine: Installation and hookup of a full set of Speed Hut gauges Installation of a larger capacity aluminum radiator Installation of an electric engine cooling fan to replace the clutch driven cooling fan Installation of a dry sump oil tank Making and installing all of the lines associated with the dry sump system Installation of a smaller battery (perhaps lithium) to facilitate the installation of the dry sump oil tank in the engine compartment I've kept busy for the last five years with a 240z restoration project which I have been posting about over at www.classiczcars.com. That one is currently awaiting paint - literally, as in nothing left to do but spray it. My Z project cup runneth over.
  7. Nearly 8 years later, I have a replacement engine, which I received today. Not much to see, but here are some pics: I have a lot of work to do before it can be fired up in the car. So, it will be a while before that happens. This motor is very similar to the one I destroyed. Changes are 89 mm bore, (now a 3.0 liter vs. 2.9 before), Intake valves are titanium (vs. stainless before), crankshaft this time is not lightened and knife-edged, and this engine will utilize a dry sump oiling system. I have shelved plans for a 3.4 liter. May never get back to that. If I had it to do over again, I'd go with something much more "standard" and pay one of the L-series specialists to do it per their recommendation. If this engine blows up, I will pay one of the well known L-series specialists to build a reliable replacement engine. Here's hoping this one doesn't go boom.
  8. Sorry for the delay. I will pm you and we'll figure out final price with shipping.

    Is the hood still available?  Very interested.  Would have to ship.

     

  10. Hi Rich, Just seeing this. I still have the cam. Let me know.
  11. Anyone have a set of 6 titanium valves for an L-28? Let me know.
