Default just got done installing the spacer..

I’m inexperience with installing things on the Z but I had to learn. Even though the install time took longer than I expected it was all done in 6hrs. The thing that were needed to be installed were the 5/16 motordyne spacer + iso thermal. The instructions on the paper weren't that elaborate but without it I would've been screwed. The leather glove method was great! The hardest part for me was the clamp in the rear of the plenum; those tubes were stuck on there super tight. ALWAYS remember to put all those tubes where they belong in the end because I got super tired and forgot to plug back in the coolant line and smoke was everywhere when I started the engine. But after the fix everything was super duper. The engine sounded deep with the JWT pop charger. The most important thing is to have all the right tools: good set of pliers, 4mm 10mm and 14mm sockets and a drive nut. Those will be your best friend. I didn’t bother installing the CCV since the weather in Texas is messed up all the time. Well thanks motordyne! And this forum to inspire me to DIY.
