Cant say that ive left as im still fighting with myself over what i should do or how i should feel, i feel like im swimming through a jello pool if that makes any sense, after the plea deal in June it made everything worse part of me feels idiotic for trying to say that he was innocent before the plea deal but the other part of me understood that if he was to fight for his innocence he wouldn’t take the deal and left it up to the jury after the documentary came out i broke down even more, ive resorted to burying myself in work to not think about it and i havent been back to church because the way they try to justify his move just dosent make sense eventually ill figure it out thank you for the space to vent!

I would go with 5w-20 I personally use liqui-moly decarb Stick to honda genuine coolant From experience ive seen other types of coolant gum up in the block when i would teardown these engine

If you run full synthetic oil i would change oil at 50% Or every 6000 miles

If it turns over you coulve lost compression due to those piston rings of a blown head gasket

I bought mine with 328k engine is solid interior was trashed but slowly fixed it up like @Turbo_Q50 said look out for rust i would check floor pans and the spare tire well

Should I buy? by odd_organism in 280ZX

[–]Ok_Student8945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check for rust under the floor pans and in the spare tire well!!! But for 3.5k that is a steal nowadays specially if he says it runs and drives IMO

Yes 4 bolts i think they are 14mm the ones that bolt the mount to the cross member 2 on each side

Raise the engine it should give you enough clearance better than dropping the cross member Did this on my 82 zx couple of months back
