I had to pause that a lot to read the captions. Figgen funny!

Sir, you will have to search on this one. Reason being is that this is covered extensivly and is done all the time. Trust me, give it a shot:).

Do you have a cat on the car?

Remembering years back, that dizzy will not work with that car. Do not remember why. Open it up and compare.

LOL! Glad I did not use my real name:)

Check for leaking out of the rear of the master. If it is leaking in the booster, it is probably just a matter of time before the booster goes bad, if it is OK now.

Duct tape is a nice touch.

Your location says inland empire, you are around my neck of the woods? Good luck!

Crap I was remebering the honda head thinking it was similar to the z head!! Sorry to all big fat duh mistake on my part! Thing is I have not worked on a honda in 7 years, yet recently pulled apart that turbo engine few months ago. Gheezz must be getting old. Sorry again. Our towers are complete, not split (mumbling to my self.....idiot)

Then do what you love, its no problem here! I just wanted to let you know. Cheers.

I perfer deep dish, however, those look very good on your car!

Understood. Don't all heads have a little warp to them once removed? Hence the re-decking? How can you true up a head if this is the case. I'm not diagreeing with Braap at all, just wondering if you true up the bore after milling the towers with the seasoned head, just like a block.?

Just an fyi. If you searched here a bit 300 to 400hp out of a turbo l6 is not Tooo difficult to do. That engine is tough as nails. As long as you keep a good tune you can flog it all day long. Well much as most engines. There is a good reason that engine can easily go 300k plus. The learning experience is also a plus useing more exotic equipment, in comparison to large displacement carburator set ups. Each is fine, I'm just letting you know there is more than one way to skin a cat. Also there are a lot of v8 conversions here, go to the v8 section:) cheers!

I will say this, very nice work! You solve your issue very quickly without conplaint. Well done.

So, if a fellow takes a stock head that has never been removed, then removes it and it is not true, you should not line bore? I had a line bore done on a honda engine, wow that turned nicely. The also milled the towers to match, due to the lager hole. Now remembering back long ago, some one told me that a seasoned block that had its twist that got line bored to true its cylinders is better than even new. If the deck is flat from surfacing and the bore is not true, would it not be prudent to realign bore to given seasoned head? BTW sicking it out there cause I want to understand and I know who I'm talking to:), so be gentle.

Ooohhhh Yyyeaaaaa!

Your very kind consideration, denotes a compassion to a 3 from a 3, lesser a 1 possibility from both considering the problem at hand. The reason this is mentioned is I've been there and screwed up. Your lively hood could have been jeopardized, could have. Been there means I did that and have to admonish others (with due respect) for the same mistakes. Given the perspective of the theory, how do you inspire fellows on any given point that has been laid out? You, yourself, JhonC must have made his mistake clear? Did he continue. aspire, or leave with in a given amount of time? I want to make something very clear, I live in a terrible business world. My assertions center around my beliefs. I would rather consume information from some fellows here. Thank God I'm not allergic to bees.

Will you have an opportunity to get out of town, into,, well the county side. Well, as best you can. I went to several counties in Europe, wish I got out.

I consider that you are at the point of 3. Now,,, Crap. (Don't want to loose validity in topic that I seem to hijacked a bit. Sorry D please don't give any consideration to revenge.....) This is covered by my theory. Trying is more important than being correct. Those that are correct are correct and never more. The L6 is what it is, nothing more. Heehee yea it is, you could do this and that, mix in some trial and error and bingo triple the hp,,,, oh YEAAAA, then the knowledge grows. This is why I love this site, you exceed the knowledge base of here, and humble congrats are always given.

Due to the massive load of information world wide, information, well, needs to be looked up. Even here, few contain in there heads all that is known about the Z. That would not even show up a spec.....wait a spec would not even notice it, comparatively to all information. (NO offense intended) Having trade schools is what I would like to see. Learn reading, writing and arithmetic, then a trade. That or college trains people only in logic to increase my number #2 theory and hope they will get into #3. A regurgitating boss would be very irritating.The funny thing is that the one that probably laid out the rules was into #3 but dose not retain the rigidity of a boss that is only good a #1.

Both the last two posts are contained in my theroy. What is a internet engineer? I did find this: http://www.cie.com/

I've come to the conclusion that intelligence breaks down essentially into 3 categories. 1. The ability to remember. (nothing more, nothing less) 2. The ability to understand. (some call this common sense, common it is not) 3. The ability to use what was remembered to understand, then associate. Now to illustrate: 1. Book smart, info in, info out. 2. With no prior knowledge understand what is before you. 3. With no prior knowledge understand what is before you and improve upon it. This is a personal observation given my own experience. I'm not fond of the first group because I know that they know, but they can not adapt the information. You can literaly walk them through a series of simple questions they answer correctly until the end that a child could get and..... nothing, except "don't treat me like a child and just tell me!" Second group I like a lot, even with out a great memory to support there skill, you can always tell they are tiring. You just have to fill in blanks a bit. Third group, at its hight, wise, patience, always learning and improving. Quite remarkable, nothing is not without interest to them. I see a lot of them here, which is why this is the largest group that I associate freely with. Probably in my life.

Fantastic write up! Way to give great credit to where deserved! I myself am more pragmatic in my approach in life, so having availability of parts to fix broken stuff is high on the list. Before changing anything and spending more time on a different mount, paint it! You can try to "hide" with flat black or make it stand out, since it's wood just paint over paint. Rattle can should suffice. Great mount BTW! I like it. Any way you can maybe put some kinda contour to the high lip along the valve cover?

Make sure who ever gets it, is made aware of HybridZ. Good luck in your decision. On a side note, is right now maybe not a good time to sell?

Great trouble shooting there!
