It always amazes me how durable and forgiving the L Series Motors are. I’ve pulled engines that have the wide main bearing inserts mixed up with the narrow main bearing journals etc., but to no detriment. My guess is that you’ve got a rod bearing on a main and ended up with the main bearing on number 4. If the engine runs good and no oddities like oil usage, leave it alone........unless you want to pull the motor and replace all the bearings, I’d run it like you stole it! The important bearing is the center thrust bearing......its hard to mix that one up LOL.

Can’t wait to hear your reply Site….🙀

Love your Z Moelk........but how can you sleep at night missing the little black door stopper? I’m so disappointed...😜

If your cam is stock and he just did a clean up cut on your head, the stock .120 rockers are what you need. Maybe you ordered the wrong rockers……160, .170 or .180’s? .120’s are correct for what you described…… case closed!

Just gave this jacket to my good friend Pete......

That’s what I was thinking of......Zedy had a set of those.

American Libres I believe.....Zedyone had a knock off set.

Here’s my original paint 112 door panel. I believe yours is Sunshine Yellow.....IMO

........and also one of my favorite colors for the 240Z. They look spectacular in sunshine yellow......really shows off a nice set of wheels and tires!

Absolutely....Caught me sleeping, but caught up and passed him at finish line. The 336 rear does better than his 410 top end, and the SU’s once agIn proved they can play with the big boys!

Nice sound @moelk. Five Z crazies went to Dinwiddie for a little competition Friday nite. EA6A6DF7-C686-4CB6-BD8D-96BC0F5CA4F2.MOV

Yep.....by .250 seconds.

SU’s vs Mikunis.....Me and Eiji ran at Dinwiddie Friday night. SU’s in the green car.......Mikunis in the 280ZX. I love my SU’s. EA6A6DF7-C686-4CB6-BD8D-96BC0F5CA4F2.MOV

rem1313.....If you are using a 73 E88 head and only shaved .012 inches, you shouldn’t have any problems IMO. Those pistons are fly cut. If you use a cam with any more lift than .460, you would need to use a shorter valve seal.

Wow Zed Head, I believe that crank snout has Jeff G’s name on it 😬

Wow Zed Head....I think that front cover has my name on it

@Dolfinz When you checked the position of the tang on your distributor, are you sure you were on TDC Compression stroke? If your chain timing was off, I do believe you would probably have valve contact. IMO

The Z 32’s are the second best looking Z series IMO. Mine isn’t turbo, but it’s still a joy to drive!

Eiji ran low 14’s I ran high 14’s. I hope to crack into the 13’s in two weeks with the new Stroker motor. It feels much fadter, but you know how that goes.

Here’s a perfect example. Eiji and I race once each year in Dinwiddie. In this race, he’s running a stroker with trips, larger valves and taller cam. I’m running my usual .080 cut, Isky Stage III with a .040 over bore. It’s pretty close till top end. On May 14th we run again.....this time I’m also running a stroker still with SU’s.....we’ll see how that comes out LOL. I love my SU’s. Turn up the volume. 8971BB1F-3839-469F-859A-361D92C3B750.MOV

Not if you are going to hook em up to a stock engine IMO. Now if you add all the other performance goodies, it may be worth your money and time. But for me, SU’s are cheap, easy to tune and provide plenty of juice to put a smile on your face.......especially if you add the other mods that work with them.

Hi Steve.....Your Z gets better looking every year. Hope you and Randy are getting number 46 back in shape. BTW the number 22 car of Woody’s is probably the best looking Z race car I’ve ever seen....not so much his 85 car LOL.

.......and with other rifraff in Atlanta!

Wow....I guess the price of a Jim Arnett autograph is going up!!!! 💰
