    Z was running hot - Notes on how I fixed it.

    This probably isn't a new issue to many of you, but I thought I'd share a few comments on how I resolved my hot running Z. After owning the Z for a few weeks now I noticed that she ran on the hot side in traffic and particularly on very hot days with temps over 95'. Last week she almost...

    My ZR-1 Saga...

    Thanks, guys... Just did the radiator clean out, replaced all the hoses, installed a 180' thermostat, intalled a Haibeck Chip and replaced the serpantine belt while I was in there. Now instead of running near the top of the temp guage she runs right down the middle and holds that temp... Hans

    Noisy Roller Rockers...need opinions

    Fixed it................:D Replaced the roller rockers with a set of CompCams Magnum Rollers today and the noise is gone. I can now drive at 2000 rpm without the clacking. So I guess the good word is stay away from off brand components. The offending rockers were made by an outfit called...
