Engine and crank wrapped up safely to keep them protected until all the parts arrive.

mocal 16 row i think, was perfectly fine but cant remember where i got it. As the previous engine failed i had metal filaments going through the system. So i was going to get a new rad rather than take a chance of hosing the old one out.

Not used stock cooler for a long time, but due to my engine failure i'm not risking putting the old cooler back in.

That was two years ago! Why are you digging up old threads and posting on them? Very weird.

Was going to stick to Mocal but just wanted to know best source in UK to order one.

Used to be on the CB years ago and recently decided to get it going again. So i bought myself a CRT9900 10M radio and a Sirio Performer Antenna for my car. You dont need a license for the 11M band ie CB channels on FM but you do if you want to use the others HAM frequencies. So far my furthest contact last week was to South Wales while i was in the car sitting outside Prestwick Airport. Planning to sit my HAM exam shortly as i would like to setup another home base setup and reach out further.

Actually not measured the crank size against the main bearing cradle to give me the clearance sizes yet. I was going to get the garage that cleaned it to do this then i forgot and took the engine home.

Anyone on here ? Hope the got out without major injuries. https://www.lancs.live/news/local-news/car-loses-control-damp-m6-18399622?fbclid=IwAR1jy2vXJf3rQ6gWM8BSxOmNCHJ8xYJpt90g3dTNwQxqnd9OpqDlTkSir90

Just collected my engine block and crank, All good so i dont need to upsize my pistons, i'll upload pics shortly. Next order on the cards is new pistons and rods.

Whats the best bearings to order up and from where ? I need main and rod and was going to go for King but seems they are hard to get from conceptz with no lead time. https://conceptzperformance.com/king-engine-bearings-performance-xp-series-w-pmax-coating-rod-bearings-nissan-300zx-z32-cr6676xp_p_29120.php https://conceptzperformance.com/king-engine-bearings-performance-xp-series-w-pmax-coating-rod-bearings-nissan-300zx-z32-cr6676xp_p_29120.php

Was quoted about £250 to dip the block, hoan the cylinders and and polish the crank.

Just dropped off my engine block and crank at an engineering works. Cylinders to be honed out and then full think to be stripped in a hot bath. Also sent the sump to be stripped and repainted black too.

Wouldn't be worth it as there isn't enough revenue or zeds in the UK.

Unfortunately no highlights last year, just a lot of realisations the zed won't be on the road for a while. Hopefully by the end of this year some progress will be made.

Seems to be lots of big orders lately going to conceptz. Good Times for our zeds getting all this extra attention..

Spent stupid amounts of more cash on her.. lol

Need a new oil cooler. Where is best to get on ?

Few more goodies ordered today from SpecialityZ, New clutch and flywheel, Injectors and a new aluminium engine shield. Need to get the engine block down to the machine shop today and see whats needed on it.

Part of my latest order was getting new freeze plugs so today i removed the old ones to reveal some inner rust. The whole block will be getting dipped and cleaned so i think it will clean fairly easily.

Yes there is. Kinda like a before and after shot.

I was a twat when i built the last one - again. When I transplanted the polished plenum from the previous build i didnt check inside it thoroughly. It contained fragments of the previous blown engine when then got sucked into the new build.

I had a wee surprise delivery from a Fedex van today and honestly wasn't expecting this for another week. Ordered from concept last week for my engine rebuild. Only thing that is missing is new pistons and rods; which after i get the bottom end checked, cleaned and honed i will look at.

me too.

lol, When i read the start of the thread title; first thing i thought was another poor zed getting broken for parts.
