My jza80 improvement project
Well I have owned this car since last Jun and it has been a bit of a pain. I first bought it and after 2 weeks of driving the water pump went out, replaced it and hit up the dyno at VEX in Red Deer for a baseline and it went again. We realized it was actually the clutch fan that seized and was the real culprit. This time it blew the head gasket aswell. I though ahh simple just throw a new one on but when we got the head off realized the block was a little warped and need to be machined so what the hell time to throw some nice parts in...
So the parts list for the engine and car:
- HKS 264/264 cams
- HKS cam gears
