Ignition module may be going. Warms up then starts to poop. Fuel should "catch up" at idle for a bit, without shut down. Pump, may be a bit more indicative.

There is a thread in interior on starter buttons.

And its less at operating temp. Gotta read;)

Wow, you tanked the first ones hard, yet, the rear did somewhat ok?! How are the piston heads/rings and lands?

T5? Any t5? Why not stick with the n/a?

Very nice, I will have to read that a couple of times, thanks;)

YOU GO MAN!! Alot easier to re-build another Z, then your daughter!! FAR OUT!!

Way to double check your info and then own it humorously;). Well done! Sorry about the pre-load..

Better put then myself. Thanks D.

That guy is so cool!

Teehee, got it;)

Another beautiful ZX, ohh so nice:)

It was brought to my attention that my "grouping" may need clarification. The system is broken, this dose not mean that all that are a part of it are also broken. Teachers specifically. My apologies to those that are tiring to do there best in spite of it, Peace.

I'm not sure, but I think tony D may weigh in here. I certainly would like his insight on this specifically.

So true. Some things learned by humans through history are great, this was learned by trial and error and then shared. Some things can be improved upon. I think a lot was lost when companies started hiring collage kids directly into management, instead of letting people from the ground floor work there way up. I can see why this happened, the "kids" brought "new" ideas and were much easily controlled, "yes men". I think that this worked at first to some degree, until macadamia started dreaming of ways, "outside the box", of doing things, without any idea that their crappy ideas would work. Told the kids and so on. No repercussions to the teachers so it became worse. Now more then ever management seems to hate workers, and workers hate management. It seems a circle that can to be broken. Too bad. I know there is a lot of heavy education here, most that gather to this site are thinkers, allowed to think, no TOLD to think for themselves. This is a good thing, if spoon feeding happened, collage, then the ingenuity of this site would die, and it would be full of a lot of sheepeople. Freedom grants those who want it, great success with great failure. You take away the failure, you take away success, hence no freedom, just a lot of spoon feeding. I could go on forever, so I hope the readers of my post are considerate of all that is said. Collage was a starting point, not an end all! Today, you can take a man with 20yrs of hard work, dedication and wisdom and replace him with a "noob" and believe you've got a better worker. I think trade schools should replace collages. The teachers should have at least 10-15 years in service of that trade.

Ummm, why did you just not clean the filter? Your pump may not look so good in the future.

Were they new, or well used out of an engine? Thank goodness for that oil flim "slug" on some of my parts crying to be used...

So glad you had some good times with your Z out at the track!! Fun racing something you've built your self. BTW, your going to have to probably going to have to add to the car, if your want 13s;)

Alright, looks great!

wanted to know if there's gonna be any changes i have to make when i do this swap? Learn to inform yourself from the wealth of knowledge in the search engine. This way you can ask direct questions and more direct answers can be given;).

Sooooo, you put in a bad turbo? Teehee... Did you ever have an ongoing thread about that car? I don't know why I just was very excited on that build, figured your the one that could git r done!

I don't know where moby posts anymore, used to love reading his stuff. Hell I don't know if he even got that rotory running. Should make a great admin!

I believe that it is a preference issue, not so much reliability issue. Technology has improved dramatically over 20-40 years. Oil on gaskets is an old thing, (not saying that it is better or not), rtv rocks if used correctly. Neoprene gaskets can be found to replace gaskets that were cork, why.... You don't want to glob rtv! speculation on break down causing O2 sensor problems, "chunks" in the pick up screen in the pan...etc. Some parts will advise using rtv in corner that were known to leak. Really all points are valid, without talking about gasket quality. It is just a preference thing. You may also consider that how often has any part been apart on any given engine that requires a seal, that was improperly cleaned? Slight abrasions to mating surfaces, pits and slight distortions can easily be made up by a modern product. Yes that engine was/is amazing! I plan on using many stock components when reassembly, new of course;). I really don't think this is a hill to die on.

My 83 will do that when the engine is cold. I have the car running a bit rich, (no wideband to prove), the cold start will flood it somewhat. Used to do it often, but after tuning timeing, air bypass and afm, it was fine. (except when cold.)

Damn it! Why do some guys get all the experience.......................... beeeeaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuch;) Got to give us some track footage, pleaseeeeeee!?
