clutch07182

im helping a friend of mine take out his blown(as in ruiined) l28 and replacing it with another what all do i need to disconnect remove b4 i can do this. and where are the best place to attach the engine hoist chains. i have already removed fuel lines and belts radiator line and all the obvious things. do i need to pull it with the tranny still attached??? any input would be apreciated. also anylinks to helpful websites would be great

my 280z non turbo did this when i first got it. i had (well still have) bad piston rings . but i jsut changed my plugs and wires and it fixed the problem for a while ive had to clean the plugs 3 times in one month but the car is running fine. id also check your fuel pressure regulator. and your oxygen sensor. then if thats all good start checking vacume lines. thats all ic an really think of but im new to the z cars so yeah good luck

check the hose that goes from the intake manifold to the valve cover mine was cracked (i jsut fouind this crak tonite) and thats why my car did the same thing. also i would check your o2 sensor and your oil dipstick . my oil dipstick was loose b4 and it cause a similar problem. good luck -clutch

thanks for all your help guys my compueter has been down for a while and i wasnt able to see it. i have the car back as mine (guys check was no good) and ive been driving the car fine for about 2 weeks now. it went through a set of plat plugs in liek 3 days but i put some cheap arse ones in and it has been running fine seince. seemed liek it may have been sitting for quite a while.it not really burning oil anymore that i can tell but it does have some other problems. like no o2 sensor or bung (header conversion from a stupid previous owner) and i need to hollow out erm i mean replace that cat. other than that its in really good shape im gonna do a full fluid swap soon and replace the clutch(bad throw out berring) but yeah thanks for all the help. also if anyone could refer me to a place near austin texas to get work or parts that would be greatly apretiated thanks again all.
