    BambiKiller240 is right - Instead of the seesaw motion of a internal cam opperation - the OHC provides a "knock em down - let em up" motion, less moving parts - faster valve responce - and better valve timing accuracy. Pull your valve cover off and turn the cam over manualy - it will show you how it all works. -Jeff
  2. I second that! -Jeff

    I found out that both of the taped holes are straight threads- One is M20x1.5 and the other is M22x1.5 Those are fine thread metrics. I went to a local fastener(sp) place and got one of each and a crush washer for each. ( crush washers are also found on a spark plug ) I've cranked them tight but will not be starting the car untill the middle of next month - I'll let you know how it works. - Jeff

    Whatever it is out of - it has a lot of smog control. I see an IAC ( or BBCD ), intake & exhaust manifolds, pcv, cruse control, and some vacuum lines. - But I only know about the L24,L26 & L28 motors. - Jeff

    Victor is probably right - I did mine last winter in the unheaded garage. Used the hand chisel method - It would start to peel a little then break off - It went amazingly quick. - Jeff

    2Manyz's - one is just smaller than 1/2" npt and the other is slightly larger than 1/2" npt. so i wonder if it is a straight thread. - Jeff

    I need to block off the smog fittings on the header that i just bought. they are threaded but i do not know the thread size - does anybody know the thread size? Or is there another way to block them off. - Jeff
  14. I bolted a new header on today ! I put a 280 head on a 240 block so i'm not using the smog hook-ups. I need to plug the holes in the header. I tried 1/2" NPT in one hole - no go. The larger hole is to big for 1/2"NPT, but to small for 3/4"NPT. Any idea what size these two holes are?? - Jeff

    OOPS!! -Jeff
  18. Zvoiture - When mine squealed like you discribed I pulled the pads out with out removing the caliper - I ground a small lead on the leading edge of the pad so the leading edge did not have a right angle to the rotor face - squeal GONE - this allows the pad to set in as that lead wears off - by that time the squeal would be gone anyway. Oh- you still need the squeal shims mentioned by bambikiller and tomanyz's. -Jeff

  21. The breaks on a 240 are not much differant than a VW rabbit. To remove the rear drums that are frozen/corroded on you may need some heat & a hammer. Heat evenly around the drum face then tap lightly and repeatedly all around the drum face where you just heated. Should come off - mine did that way. Congrats on the Z - Welcome to the club, good times for all! -Jeff

    Zoom - If you want to reduce under hood temps. & are going to buy a header - buy one with a ceramic coating - The ceramic does not transfer heat very well - sending it out the back. try this , hold a 6" square of floor tile in the palm of your hand, then blast the top side with a tourch - you will hardly feel the heat and not enough to drop the tile!! The ceramic coating looks GREAT for ever!! Never have to look at a rusty header again! One brand is ' Armor Coat' another is 'Jet Hot' Jet Hot is the coating that comes factory on Dodge Viper exhaust systems - they were having a floor board temp. problem - fixed it. - Jeff
