The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIV

JARblue · 11-18-2019, 09:20 AM

In the past several days I've had several people tell me not to bother with the ATI damper. The tolerances are extremely tight (too tight, frankly, I'm told) and can sometimes make it damn near impossible to install on the crank. It's just a damper; it's not really prone to failure. So why bother I guess is the thinking...

Anyone else seen or heard similar things on the ATI dampers?

Kevin estimated $1200-1400 for engine work (oil galley gaskets and oil pump gears), but the estimate includes parts. I expect I'll spend closer to $1500 by the time I add in a few extra tasks for him while the front timing cover is off.

Gonna look to drop the Z off with him in a couple of months. Early Jan would be ideal, but the goal is to get that work done before my birthday in early Feb so I can take it out that week.

I'm not sure, but I think all the diagonal stuff is support until all the sides are up and he starts tying it all together. I think I'd have poured a 6" slab and bolted the sides to that. It would give me some support for a lift.....

There’s no impact if your driveway heaves other than cosmetic. If your garage heaves if could have some major issues. Especially if it doesn’t displace evenly throughout.

On the design. I assume you are referring to footer interchangeably with what I’m calling chain wall. You are probably on the right path. Just remember there is such a thing as too much rebar. The concrete code has both a Amin and Amax for steel area in a slab.

I got seats straight back from the stage. Up a couple of rows.
