who going to be nailing it together bud???

who going to be nailing it together bud???

 

Looks like its going to be scott at nexus.

The main reason for letting him do the work is:

He is the closest and when he has removed the tubs i can go pic them up ready to be rebuilt by no one other than moi :) then send them off for balancing and back to scott :)

This way is much easier.

And of course i do trust scott as i know he has had alot of experience with this engine, he is building a few at present and he has his own zed, so that brings up my confidence in him also. At least i know he has passion for the car.

Sounds like a good plan matey! good luck.

oh damn i totally forgot about bearing grades and piston size hmmmm.

5hit.

they give you stickers for free ;) il find a nice home for them on my tool box @ work :p

 

... tried to get a free set of mats with my last order but j.t wouldnt have it :( spent over $3k aswell... il be trying for a 2008 calendar on my next order ;)

Nice one Jimmy, thinking that's gonna have to happen to mine sooner or later, so what's your total spend including the graft, if you don't mind me asking ?

Have you contacted Coz at Concept at all, great guy to deal with and I've bought quite a bit from him and he's never let me down :)

I Think im guna be set back around the 2500-2700 mark.

Im not going mad coz if i do il end up with a mortgage.

just a basic rebuild with forged pistons.

want it running like new again.

 

So now i have a dilema wat am i guna do about bearing grades? i havent a clue what ones to select!!!!!!!!!! ahhhh

Suppose he can advice on the best piston size too.

Mods take out the trash please :)

leave the thread, it may atract some advice on what to do regarding your rebuild

Exactly, I think it's what most of us would do rather than spend on new engine rebuild plus new tubs and "while it's out" etc.

Your right,

I can order the pistons and the rest of the kit except the bearings. but thats not part of the z1 rebuild kit deal :(

 

Think i just leave the bearing ordering to scott then. All the rest should be fine.

Think im guna need a new engine loom too..... £££
