A time to share before and after photos

So what happens when Jeffvette Locobob Carter200 and the ZF.Doc work jointly on a ZR-1 ?

Jeffvette and Locobob did the porting and polishing and the Powdercoating... Carter200 did the LT-5 side pipes, TPI cover and the billet oil cover and the ZFDOC did the match porting and put it all back together. Guys Thanks again for helping me complete a great project! Goldcylon

I don't know about that JeffVette guy, I heard he likes male sheep.

Jeff does great work, If I lived near him I think I'd have a few race cars and probably be broke.

That looks Great....I miss the powder coating on my 91. I will be taking my 92 to Mike Ebert this winter for the powdercoaing treatment. It transforms an engine bay

Cleanup is certainly easier, I was very happy the way the project turned out. The work was top notch and the silver flake metallic looks really awesome in the sun.

I was a noob to the whole process but after researching what was best to do when and where I had the following completed.

Ported and polished the plenum
Ported and polished the Air Horn
Ported and polished Injector Housings
Had coolant pipes and TPI cover engraved with LT-5
Replaced Coil Packs, Plugs (iridiums), Starter, Wires, MAP Sensor
All Fuel Injectors with RC SL-205s
Machine match ported the heads
All Stainless bolts from McMasters (Thanks Zethco for the lead)

Looks great and running strong.
