Well after 36 days of rest, the Tri-Z went for a rip today. After I fixed the cracked case, POS chain OEM chain, painted pipe and did some other stuff she was all ready to go. I was testing all the kicker gears and all that was in right, I was ready to kick her over. Must have left the kill switch on, one smooth swift stroke and no choke and she fired and purred like a kitten. I couldnt beleive it!
Ok, water pump seal. All Z owners beware of this. It is SO brutal to get this in. I had to use a socket on each side, one on the seal other on metal other side, stick it in a vise and slowly apply pressure making sure the socket doesnt hit the seal and damage it. Got it in after I had already damaged one and had to wait another 4 days to get another in.:rolleyes:
I got the following new,
OEM bolts,
OEM side case
OEM gaskets
X ring gold plated chain(sprockets too)
Water pump seal
And a "new" used clutch assembly.
Painted-
Water pump cover
Pipe
Here are some pics, Im just SO SO happy shes all together and ready to go.:w00t:
She runs like a raped ape on fire running through a retirement home while smoking crack while being chased by rabid Walrus's. :lol:
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me out on this one.
