My Winter project 350z engine rebuild

Well that's it all done really. Fitted the new valve cover gasket and put back the air collector etc back on, no leak!

Ran it up to temp a few times and bled it a few times and nice hot air now coming out the air vents.

The only thing to do now is change the mineral running in oil with new synthetic.

Next week I'll be putting as many miles on it as I can ready for the track day.

Beautiful work, very well done!!! Chuffed for you pal and now a very well sorted engine. We a steady drive out to Anglesey next Sunday if you fancy 😁

I saw that thanks Dave, but I think it might be a little too soon for the mighty Z but I'm definitely up for Japfest tho.

Too soon for a leisurely Sunday drive out, but not for a prolonged high rpm session at the biggest circuit in the UK

Haha, yeah it sounds a bit strange when you put it like that,  but I'll be taking it fairly easy round the track. It's all about the experience and having fun, but next year I'll be hammering it.

My Z now has 500 miles on it and runs really sweet........ Until this morning where I parked up and restarted the engine. Suddenly it's running rough with a P0305 code. 

Managed to drive it home and waited for the engine to cool down,

Swapped pack 5 and 3 around expecting the error to jump cyl 3, but it's running sweet again.

How strange is that?
