Careless Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I'd like to point out that there is not nearly enough lubrication on those cams for initial startup to be on the safe side. not saying it's going to cause an issue, but I would use a thick assembly lube instead of a regular oil. video is cool though!

Noted. The oil used is a mix of 3 different oils. Installation isn't done yet. Valve clearance will still need to be measured and shims adjusted/moved/, gaskets are missing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARZ_ Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 On an L motor if you can get an extra distributor drive gear you can grind off the gears and install the shaft and use a drill motor and get oil pressure to the entire motor before it is ever started. Honestly on a shim and bucket cam I dont think you need as much lube as on a rocker design, since the bucket spins around and cams are so much wider. Since this is a Gearotor pump your only option for prelube is for a Canton Accusump, kind-of overkill but very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoobee Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Isn't it easier to simply disable the ignition prior to the initial startup and give the engine a good long lube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's putting a RB motor in there (No distributor). And as long as he is taking on the project, I think he's doing things right. Rushing things because you're excited isn't a good thing.

And as long as he is taking on the project, I think he's doing things right. Rushing things because you're excited isn't a good thing.I merely stated a good way to create oil pressure on an L motor without it running only as a suggestion to others. I clearly stated the benefits of a shim and bucket valve train (since that is what an RB motor has). I stated the type of oil pump an RB has and I NEVER suggested he rush any portion of the project and I never got excited about it either. WTF:sour: I strongly agree don't rush at all, take your time.. if you rush, mistake'sAgree all you want, but the fact remains. I never suggested he rush anything.

I never suggested he rush anything. Well clarify a little when you state that. It sounded like you were directing that comment at mull. I will say that my comment about rushing this wasn't directed at you. It was just for those who are impatient to see mull's car finished.

garvice Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Come on guys, back to Mull's build. I understood ARZ clearly. He was just trying to help. Now Mull, how is the project going? Are there any videos on the editing floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Are there any videos on the editing floor? If me keeping my fingers crossed will help make the front end transplant come true this weekend - there will be shortly. Engine build is waiting for some gaskets and stuff to be delivered.

Engine build is waiting for some gaskets and stuff to be delivered. WOot Front end!.. I can't wait to see those pics I would presume that Huddinge Kustoms will be doing most of the fab work? It will be Great to see a soild rolling chaise, then the really work begins.. don't suppose your thinking of putting a roof back in to? My opinon is metal roof ... but then again this an't my car, altough arrow dynamics are always a nice thing to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEED Z fix people who want a z fix go out to the garage and work on yours or buy one! They shouldn't be demanding video. Ps. Mull hope your front end dreams come true. I got mine fingers cross for yeah to try and help! Since I am all the way in Canada >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 No love this weekend. Another car had priority. Front end will have to wait a little bit longer, which is a good thing since I have yet to summon a set of adjustable coilovers for the installation...
