Boy am I kicking myself in the arse after selling the #110 '72 for $6,000. White interior too. It had some rust but overall a solid original. Dang, dang, dang! The timing was bad in my direction, after I sold it they started climbing in price. Day late and many dollars short. I sleep good though, car karma. He got a fair deal and my life hasn't been too bad since.

I think it's a whoopie cushion for tight a s s e s.

I'm remembering the ocd things I did to get tdc. With the 1st and 2nd cam lobes kind of bunny eared or the smaller ends up, I used a feeler gauge on the 1st and 2nd rocker lash pads and the cam lobes to get the same gap (thickness/thinness). When they were equal to each other that was TDC. Smarter people correct me please but that's what I rember.

I think you have the cam sprocket on wrong somehow. There's a couple of things that aren't right. The small dot shouldn't be above the TDC window. Looking at a sprocket I have the V notch isn't in the same spot as the dots on the front side. I'm sorry if I confuse but that's what I'm seeing. Good luck, I'm gonna hush up now.

I just noticed something. Your cam sprocket "window" should show the top bolt of the thrust plate. Your's needs to be farther clockwise I think. The bolt is not visible in the photo you posted.

The thrust plate has a small indented line, about 1/4" long. the cam sprocket has 3 V shaped cuts on the backside for the 3 timing chain adjustments. the line should be a frog hair to the left of the V for proper chain tightness. This is also another indicator of TDC. hope this helps.

This just proves how great a group of friends I have. You are the best and I won't ever forget the kindness I've been shown over the years. Always in debt to this group. I try, all though unsuccessful many times over, and over, to help but I will be here every day. You all are the best, wrenches down. Cliff

Hey I have to apologize to you guys. I had a little break down here, y'all are my friends and I needed to talk. My Mom's sister passed away Saturday night from complications of covid-19. Thank you all for unknowingly helping me. I really appreciate it. Cliff

Love that band! He was a tortured soul as with many musicians. I'll always remember the Cure for Pain disc I played over and over as I went through a break up. This off Yes though but still...damn.

I too felt the same on compression testing when I rebuilt 2 motors. Never checked them to this day. Cars run great. Some things I don't need to know.

Yep, a good machinest can lighten it locally. $50-$100 with your flywheel? Having the pressure plate attached and balanced is a good choice for not much $$$. Also having them press the throwout bearing onto the collar. I don't understand a 240mm clutch on a 225mm flywheel? I read a 610 or 910 maxima flywheel will work on our cars, 17lbs. if you can find one.

I smoked from the early '80s until New Years morning 2007 at about 9am. I quit a lot of stuff then. We have the high cdb, low thc legal here now but its BS in my opinion. I prefer pharmacies for my drugs now. They say Alabama is about to start a 2oz or lower fine, up to $250. Pot grows like crazy down here in our climate so dispensary weed would never work. I'd be affraid to smoke again it makes me hyper. My doctor says I have ptsd from a closed head trauma and stimulates relax me where weed stimulates me. Crazy! I'll figure it out after I drink a little more. I'm still fairly young and smart enough to drink at home.

Morphine is as close as I've gotten to jazz. And I like Yohoos a lot but they're full of chemicals. I just need to quit watching television and thought some others might have noticed the uptick in Shaq appearance. He's everywhere! Jeez, take your money and go away please. Add info edit: I'm done in the restaurant business so I've got a lot of screen time now. Maybe I should off started with that?

Shaquille O'neal. He's on my television all the time. Commercials. Always a nuisance but now with Safer at Home they've doubled. Streaming also affects this last money grab in my opinion. The Royal Family. No comment! is all I want to hear from those poor family members. Craig Robinson, Snoop Dog, Matthew McConaughey, Tim Allen, those damn Kardashians-Jenners, Dr Pimple Popper just showing up on my menu screen, and so many more but I hate to bore my friends. Safer at home hasn't worked like I anticipated, spending time with your loved ones, fixing your cars and house. Thank goodness for alcohol. Maybe Shaq could do that commercial?

Buy it!

I think maybe that's the thrust plate that locks the cam down. Here's a better shot of the marks you should see.

It looks weird too. Your cam should be showing through that window on the sprocket and I can't figure out what you have with that slanted line?

You are off on the cam sprocket. There's line up marks I don't see in your photo.

I have a Tilton aluminum flywheel, it's 11 or 13 lbs can't really remember but I did have it resurfaced so maybe it's 11? Anyway I run the $100 Exedy clutch from amazon.com with great results. Stock motor with better exhaust and it it's a fun car to drive. Getting out of my driveway is the hardest part but once I'm out I am used to the difference so no stalling. If I remember right the high performance pressure plates are heavier, giving more clamping force, so that would negate the lighter flywheel in my head.

I remember her getting one off e-bay that I thought was a good work around? I see now that was in 2011 so if she got one from you 5 years ago apparently it didn't work as well as she hoped. Oh well...

You are the man, man. 3 car garage with a Z in front. I recently read that's a sickness like a @Diseazd.

I learned that the zx e12-80 distributor uses the 1.5 ohm coil when I installed one on my 240. I assume the electronic distributor use 1.5 coils. The early points one use 3.0. Brighter minds will tell us soon. It's Saturday.

You beat me to it! Yeah, knock sensor. https://www.zcar.com/threads/what-is-the-hole-just-to-the-left-of-the-oil-filter-on-f54-block.337993/

That's a zx thing I guess. My '77 has nothing at 11 but as heyitsrama said the oil sender is at 2 oclock.

Harmonic balancer, dampener, pulley??? Mine has some shallow holes drilled on the back side so I guess it's balanced but is it balanced to the motor or just the pulley?
