Jeff, I know exactly who your talking about...

Tragically his zed will rust away , he's been talking about restoring it since I first met him in 2004 and we wont sell it

It's a great shame but I think you are correct (#64 I think?). He is going to look at another car near Boorowa but that's all he will say!

I'm guessing this early car is not on my list yet?

Part numbers from this lot.

G/B = Gearbox

D = Diff

Top part is engine mounts

Hex nuts are self locking used on the suspension, gearbox mount plus other spots. From memory it's 17mm.

No it's not. I did talk to him about the list. Even showed it to him but he was not that interested. Edited by CBR Jeff

Haha. Just arrived in Bairnsdale for the night. Will be in Warragul for coffee tomorrow morning. I'm excited.

Think there will be some private corner time for you Jeff after you see and hear it run for the first time LOL

But is it possible to do this with most L24's? Can they be over-bored enough? Or is most of the added displacement from the stroke of the crank?

 

If the walls are too thin is re-sleeving an option to get more bore out of it?

My understanding is the the over bore is not excessive. There is still enough to give another bore if and when required.

Bore has gone from 83mm std to 85.5mm but the stroke has gone from 73.7mm to 89mm. That's the big jump.

It sounded good at 7500 rpm. I did see it go to about 7800 as it settled for the 7500 static.

Jeff.

Does LC partly fill the coolant voids in the block? That helps support the bores considerably, as a rule of thumb a one third fill will not cause overheating problems, apparently.

Wow, it's going to be an awesome ride Jeff! Is it a 76degree cam or custom LCR?

 

What are the plans for the driveline combo?

I filled my L28 to the bottom of the water pump, it's had no impact on the cooling temps at all.

Hi Gareth. Yes it's going to be fun to drive.

Gearbox and diff are the original units but have both had a rebuild.

Nothing more motivating than the events of last Thursday.

Quite a few small jobs ticked off this weekend including a watershed moment. I managed to have a big clean up of the shed and can now move the Z around a bit more.

Welded in the repair section I made a few weeks ago to replace the rusty gutter and I have finally applied some POR15 to the body. Just the inner rear guards and shock tower internals on both sides but a big step never the less.

Always luvin your work Jeff.

 

I'm not that familiar with POR15 apart from the bits Ive read here and there, was that applied by hand and did you need to use any primer?

 

Also, do you intend using it as a base for any other finishes?

Thanks John.

POR15 is basically the same as KBS. You use it the same way and apply it likewise. This lot was applied by brush.

It will have underbody then a top coat of paint applied in the future.
