Yes the car is heaps better. Still a little noisy tappets though. What
oil do you plan to run?
Another thought for you conversion Adam. The Z18 block has 4 holes in the
block for dip stick tubes. Of course 3 of these are blocked with brass
plugs. I chose the RHR hole to use as this brings the dipstick up between
the inlet manifold just next to no,4 injector. Just nock the plug out with
a long pin punch and block the spare hole with the same plug. I just
lengthened the dippstick last night only to find out thismorning that I
actually shortened it. D'oh.
Regards,
Pete.
