OK, everyone.


Move on. S/N ratio is low enough as it is.

Any video suggestions or tips or just about any info on what i should do would be greatly apreaciated. Please and Thank you. much love to all
Why doesn't it run? A motor with bad valve stem seals will still run but will smoke. If it doesn't run and if it's NOT the valve stem seals, replacing the seals will be a waste of time. You need to actually find out why it really doesn't run before doing this. I also question why bought a non-running 350z. If you really got it dirt cheap, I mean almost free type of cheap, then the car probably has a million miles on it. A replacement motor with less miles might be better, easier and cheaper in the end.

OP, don't take it too bad. When you got travlee's attention (however good or bad), it's all good.

Says he comes looking for advice. Is given advice. Ignores advice. "F*** IT! WE BALL!"

What is it with these kids thinking they can rebuild an engine outdoors with some basic hand tools. I feel this car's probably gonna be a drift missile hoopty even after it's running.
