cool thanks guys, Im thinking im not gonna worry about it for now.

I would just be swapping the cam towers, camshaft rockers lash pads etc. the E88 head has a spray bar for oiling, even with the motosport high pressure oil spring i only yeild 15 psi of oil pressure at idle. the P79 cam is internally oiled

I currently have an E88 head on my N42 block. (Im not sure which E88 head I have) I have the oppurtunity to get a rebuilt P79 locally for a very good price. Im wondering if it would be worth it to replaced the E88's spray bar style valvetrain with the p79 internally oiled valvetrain, I looked at some specs http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm and I see that there is some differences. What do you guys reccomend I do?

it's brand new. I thought so to so I replaced it.

So I have a 72 240 that I rescued awhile ago from sitting for 15 years. brakes wise ive replaced teh front callipers with yota calipers, rebuild the rear wheel cylinders the right way, replaced the master cylinder, took apart each of the 3 valves and cleaned them throughly. What I have going on is when the car isnt running there is good pedal pressure but when the car is running there is none. Ive bled the brakes over and over again and checked for leaks. also the pedal makes a nasty clunk when you push it in. Any ideas? I more concerned about the nasty clunk I can figure out the pressure issue.

Yea im thinking Im gonna get 215's Im thinking that would look and hook up real nice. I found a set of 225's and I was thinking that that would be probably a little bit to big of a tire to stretch on a 6" thanks guys

How wide have any of you guys gone? And how was and would you go that wide again? Im tire shopping and I havent decided how wide Im wanting to go yet, any sugestions? Thanks, Richard

I recently just got my first engine build running and i noticed that if the brake booster vacume line isnt connected then it will run alot different, and also check the dampening on your slides on you SU's

Its an E88 that i bought from the guy on ebay that sells alot of remanufactured heads. I ended up taking a metric bolt, cutting the head off, cutting it in half and cut a groove for a screwdriver in each to plug the holes. actually worked pretty good.

SO i found the problem, I empied my carbs dampening oil and i put ATF in my carbs. I started up my car and let it run for awhile and gave it some gas and yada yada. i noticed the oil collecting wasnt red! so i looked really hard everywhere and coudn't find anything. So i noticed these two threaded holes next to two studs on my cylinder head, i grabbed a small allen and enough said the allen went in the hole a few inches! the oil was coming form these holes. I looked at my spare heads and neither of them had these holes. http://a472.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/26/l_30cc7ed105c0ad8b8bf3477c4fed23ef.jpg"

yea i think im going to try that tomorrow since i have a day off, i guess im just happy thats its not making its way into the engine and burning it, but then again its getting splatterd everywhere! Ill post tomorrow after i try atf and write my results

I hopeing someone has had this same thing happen to them also...

When i pulled my old L24 we set the block in a wheel barrow, I was pushing the wheelbarrow to our scrap pile behind our garage and while my dad was supposed to be spotting me he decided to talk about somthing insted, i lost control of the barrow and one of the points of the block on the transmission mating side hit landed on my foot before anything else! somehow i didnt break my foot! thank god for being younge and loving milk!

So recently I finished my engine ground up build and got it in the car. everythings hooked up and I got it running. while i was in the process of adjusting timing, air fule mixutre and syncronizing the carbs i noticed liquid on my exaust manifold burning off, at first i thought it was gas dripping from somehwere and that wasnt the case, i turned off the Z and checked around, there was oil underneath my balance tube, on my exaust manifold, backside of my individule air filters and on the engine bay wall on the driver side, i noticed that while reving these droplets appeared, so i took the tops off my carbs and pulled the slides out, there is oil getting into my mixture from the oil in my slides! i assumed that maybe i had to much in there, so i empteid them out and put new oil in there, i filled them up to the second line and made sure each slide felt the same going up, i started my Z up again and it does it again! its almost as if the oil is comming from my balance tube, I thought about changing the oil with atf to make sure that the oil i have splattering is from the carbs, so insted of having oil everywhere id have red oil everywhere, what should I do? thanks guys Richard

the line that was pinched off was the return on the fuel rail. hey i really appriciate all of the responses! thanks, Richard keep them commin!
