A Sad Day for a Jet Black ZHP

[JG330i]

not swapping the cams (unless ruined - and make certain you ask our advice about the condition if the shop tries to tell you they are messed up - minor surface blemishes/light scoring is normal)

I know what to look for and this shop is not that kind of place. Its an enthusiast shop run by enthusiasts. Not talking about a stealership here.

I didn't mean it as any kind of insult, esp not knowing the shop. My reason for questioning it - was them saying the cams weren't necessary.

I'm no engineer but I'd bet more time and money would be spent trying to get a standard issue M54 motor to play nice with the car vs simply swapping the ZHP cams into the "new" motor.

any update on the car?? bummer man...

I wont have an idea on the issue and what happened until the work begins, which will most likely not be until the end of the month.

In the meantime, I have been getting myself into shape by biking to work and biking home.

Until you get another ZHP, nothing is better than biking.

I cannot agree more. I actually took a pretty bad spill on the bike last week and waiting on a a new rear wheel. Tried having it trued but its more bent than I thought it would have been after steering clear of a lady in a Honda coming right at me.

I'm all good, so now I am taking public transit half way and running the remainder. We luckily have a locker room at work with showers and the weather has been so nice lately that running has been a pleasure.

*UPDATE*





I threw a rod through the side of the engine block and a gaping hole in the back side of the drivers block. Guibo and center support bearing are shot as well as the engine mounts.
