Great thread any way you look at it. I learned a lot regardless. I'm sure he's just out racing...hopefully.

Got through this whole thing, skimming of course, and dissapointed to find out he gave up at the same point I'm at

Maybe I should just take it somewhere too...

I am also doing the install of my built block myself. There is nothing to it. Just get yourself started with the right tools and a little bit of knowledge and you will be fine. . You will safe a lot of euros ( currency here ) and know exactly what has been done to your engine. And if you are really stuck or dont know anything, you can always ask someone.

If you can't figure out how to then, this isn't for you and you need to pay someone.
If you can't afford to pay someone, then you definitely shouldn't be running a built Z.
Either know your sheet, or have $$$$... Either way that's how it is!
