AlexPie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm just looking for a place to get my L28ET Looked over/ Rebuilt Not sure on a total budget yet. not going to be over boring or anything like that just want to get the thing running also hoping for a shop with some Z experience I'm currently in Utah but occasionally visit Phoenix, AZ and Albuquerque, NM. If anyone could help me out, thanks in advance (also,excuse the grammar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'd love to help but I'm in Southern Utah, and as far as I know there aren't any shops around here that specialize in old Z cars. As far as the basic machine work goes, I had mine done at Chuck's Speed & Marine in Phoenix. Those guys were all excited when I brought in my L28 stuff for a bore / align hone / clean / press fit new pistons / polish and balance crank. They were hoping I was going to bore it out big and make a 3.1l stroker. They were okay with just cleaning up the bores though and they did a great job on all my stuff. Very reasonable turn around time too. After that I slapped the thing together on a big piece of cardboard in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexPie Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'll have to look them up, and I'm actually in southern Utah also, most likely on the other side of the state than you bout an hour south of Moab. I'd also need some quality head work i could send it out but to where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Did you get the motor out of a running car? If so I say just run it. These motors are surprisingly robust. I've only lost one at 20psi and it had 250k miles (possibly more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a running according to the PO but was torn apart by him and he ran out of money for the build and that's when I bought it I just want it all checked out to make sure its with in reasonable spec and assembled.

GOTHALOSISM Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 How far from Cortez Colorado are you? If not far I can find a real good person to rebuild it for you. I grew up there and loved going to slickrock to bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
