I don't think you can safely re-use an MLS headgasket. There are "crumple zones" (for lack of a better term) that are pressed flat when you torque down the head. They stay compressed even when you remove the head, and the gasket isn't as effective the second time around.

Indeed... anything is possible... it just depends on how deep your pockets are.

I'm sure you could. Just need to fab up some strong brackets. Are you swapping engines weekly???

It's welded for a reason...

GOOGLE my friend.... google. http://www.zdriver.com http://www.zcar.com http://www.zhome.com http://www.classiczcars.com http://www.zcarclub.com http://www.zcca.org http://t.webring.com/hub?ring=zcars There's about a trillion more... but thas a start.

So... you have a car? um... maybe you could tell us what KIND of car it is... thad be nice.

Using the SEARCH type in VALVE or VALVE ADJUST or ADJUSTING VALVES.... here's a very recent thread on the subject: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=117349 Hopefully you are talking about how to adjust the valve lash... right?

Schneider Cams & Comp Cams are both good (VERY WELL KNOWN) companies... and like Mtcookson said, have them cut you a grind to your spec.... which also means.... DO RESEARCH ON WHAT GRIND YOU WANT.

Wait... you mean this has been asked about 1 trillion times before?

18lbs isn't much... I really REALLY doubt you did any damage to the gasket.

Speco... that just sounds stupid. How about a price? Is there a reason you don't stick w/ a name brand like... Autometer?

That is one damn ugly ass car.

Anyway... swap in a short summary: -Yank out both motors / ecu harnesses -Drop in the L28ET to your car -Swap ecu harnesses Ta-da!

Hey! That's my Haynes manual you are prostituting!

And you've had "personal experience" proving that? Interesting... because the holes are different & they don't give the same signal to the ecu...

Oh really... how is it "optional" ???

Here's another thread that references the n/a swap: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=116623 Another reference of doing an n/a swap: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=686973#post686973 It can be done, but it involves tons of rewiring. You will have to cut all the 280zx ecu wires, trace them to where they should go on the Z31 ecu & re-connect them all... It's not a horrible job, just very time consuming compared to other do it yourself stand alone instalations. It's very easy to do on the 280zxt because the ecu connections are the same as the Z31 & the ecu's are programmed similarly.

Not too shabby brah!

I got a 102 in a 65... my insurance statement just shows "speeding ticket."

Werd... USAA FTMFW!!!

There is such a thing as electrical cleaner... it's like brake cleaner. Can be found at your local parts store, or hardware store.

Prolly 3 complete Z cars in the attic of my garage (minus the shell).

Why not shop around & find out? Check AutoZone / Checker / Kragen / NAPA / Pepboys / PartsPlus / Ebay / any other local parts shop. Compare prices and then you will know.
