Anybody in either the Monterey bay area (San Jose), bay area (San Fransisco) or in the socal area that has done a 60K before? I need to do mine coming up here pretty soon and I want to try to do it myself, but it'd be cool if I had some ehlp from someone woh's done it before. Whoever is willing would be compensated for their time.

Z_WRECKER

your z has under 60k....is it a stock engine.... mine is at 80k now

emo236

No it's almost time for the 2nd 60K. Feel me? I'm at about 104K right now. I WISH it had under 60K!

Here's how to do it.

Here's where to get the parts for it.
Since you gotta remove the pulley and radiator, this would be the perfect time to replace both. Also, the lower radiator hose/pipe kit would be perfect here. The coolant temp. sensor and the temp. gauge sensor might be candidates for replacement at this point as well.

Rizz, Are you saying that you're gonna drive to California for little 'ol me?! WOW, Rizz, what a nice guy you are. you're gonna come to CA and help me and teach me how to do the 60K..lower half! Everyone..isn't Rizz the nicest. I'm gonna go email EVERYONE on 3zc, tt.net, and everyone on this forum and tell 'em what you're doing for me and what a NICE guy you are.

Riz Z Speed

Sure, I'll be there.
All you gotta do is send me the plane tickets. Reserve and pay for a hotel (5 star please). Buy breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be sure you have all the tools you'll need. Then I'll be more than happy to help you.

emo236

Oh I already told everyone that you're "Even paying for your own ticket!"

emo236

Alright, I guess I can put you up, and buy you breakfast, lunch and dinner...I have a nice tent that can go in the backyard, or ILL EVEN ALLOW YOU TO SLEEP IN MY CAR IN THE GARAGE!!! hows that for 5 star!!?? so when's a good time for you to do this..I just need it done sometime soon...actually, if you wanna come do it at the fraternity house...we'll hafta do it in the driveway which might be weird, but you can stay in the active room...comfy couches!!

Riz Z Speed

First class on American Airlines and a room at the Holiday Inn or nothing!!!!!!

Holiday Inn? Don't they have anything nicer than that in Chicago? Since he's in the Monterey area, have him hook you up at somewhere nice, like the Double Tree.

Riz Z Speed

Of course they do.
I was just being nice and said the Holiday Inn for where he lives. Why would I want a hotel room here where I live? He wants me to go over to Cali where he's at to help him out. Hell, I'll settle for a Motel 6! As long as it's not a couch, I'm not that picky.

Z_WRECKER

come on Rizz...you are a moderator....that means you take care of us, the ppl who come to the forum....i thought we had this discussion already, and i didn't get my email checking up if i have any stuff for you to do....my z needs to be washed badly, so whenever you get a chance rizz

Riz Z Speed

not this crap again....

91zxtt

I didn't mean a Holiday Inn in Chicago. I meant that if a Holiday Inn was the nicest place in Chicago, then you may have thaught that was the best they had to offer in Monterey. Sarcasm mis-interpreted. My-bad.

emo236

I was jk, I don't expect you to come here, Rizz. You didn't think i was being serous did you. If so thanks for being willing to come! thats pretty nice of you! I was thinkin someone in CA would answer to this post...maybe..it was worth a try. I don't feel comfortable changing my timing belt by myself, so i was hoping someone who's done it before or has enough experince with stuff like that, so that they might be willing to come help me. then I'd learn and could do it myself next time or help someone else do it. if not, i'm gonna do the top half (already done quite a bit of it) and then take it to someone to do the bottom.

Riz Z Speed

Awwwww man I was up to a trip too!
I was even looking forward to getting my hands dirty.
Besides, I'd never been out to Cali and was kinda looking forward to it. I figure that the flight and hotel would've been cheaper than taking your car to the dealer as well. Like you'd take your car to the dealer anyway.

emo236

we'll see Rizz, I'll keep it open as an option. Have you ever done it before?

Riz Z Speed

nope, but it can't be that hard.

emo236

its not the fact that it might be hard that makes me warry. Its the fact that if I mess something up even a slight bit, there goes my motor.

Riz Z Speed

Short of cracking the block itself, It can all be fixed.

emo236

Oh well, in that caase...I'll just get my little brother to help me...he's 7.

Z_WRECKER

hahaha....sorry rizz the job is taken by a more dependable person...emo's 7 year old brother

NISMO LMR

Bro me and you are at the same point methinks, except half of my friends are mechanics, HAHAHAHAHA . So im learning quite a bit here, but the timing belt... Not touching, calling someone to mess with that thing. Peace foo's

NISMO LMR

Dude you named your dog Z??? Haha, thats die hard right there dude. I could have named my hedgehog Z, hes got some dark hair on his forehead that forms a Z, haha. But Hogie will work. Peace foo's

emo236

Are you gonna call someone to help you on it or just to do it. Personally, I want to learn how to do it since I plan on keeping my Z for a LONG time and I plan on doing the next one and at least the one after..then on my new motor after that, so I want to learn. Also, it'd be cool b/c I could help other people do it.
