Overheating
I recently installed a wild cam and springs, extractors, twin webers, port and polish, high performance coil and wires on an N24 head with L28 block on a 280ZX.
However the engine is running very hot, reaching the middle of the temperature guage (this never happened before)
Also the gasket for the extractors keeps blowing.
Any suggestions.

Re: Overheating
if it's running that hot, try going with a lower temp thermostat, or none at all, thats what i did when i upped my boost and had an overheating prob, now it runs as hot as it used to (which is on the cool side, about 1/4 of the way up on the gauge)

Re: Overheating
The temp gauges in Z's don't work for crap. Get a good gauge and see for sure if you engine is running hot. I had the same problem and scared the crap out of myself thinking my engine was hot, but it was just running normal.
