Fitting cam towers
Thanks a lot Phred, I would not know where to start without the help of you guys. My only problem is the previous owner pulled it himself. So, I don't think he might have numbered the rockers. I'll have to play around with it when I get to it. Thanks again! :nervous:

Got my Zed back!!! :)
Tommo560, Did your Z have a bad vibration at highway speed? My Z (Jennie) has the L28 engine also, I thought the vibration was from the suspension in the front. You think that my engine might be the same way as yours was? I have to pull that engine (for the turbo I am installing), but anyway, do you think I should look into that? BTW, what year of BMW did you get the harmonic balancer from?

Fitting cam towers
I have a question about the tower shims. The head that I have for my second Z is a E88. The towers and the cam were pulled from the head and the guy said that he forgot where or how many shims each of the towers had. The head was rebuilt at the local shop. If I take the rest of the parts (lifters, lashpads, towers, shims, and cam) to them, you would think they would be able to put it back on? I guess all I can do is take it on Monday and ask? I would hope it is as simple as you guys say it is. :stupid:

Color Choice
I am still trying to make up my mind, also! It is a toss up between the Yellow and the Two-tone Gray with a Skyline 2000 racing stripe down the middle. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=12920&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 Yellow http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=12946&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 Two-tone Good luck!

What makes a great plug wire?
I use Taylor 8.0mm in conjunction with NGK plugs (#BPR6ES). No problems with them. Want to put a MSD 6A ignition controller on this turbo motor. Will it work?

Headlight covers
I have been waiting a long time to get these. Just another piece of the car being put together. Also, the H4 conversion headlights. I can see at night now.
