I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

This is indeed pretty awesome.

However, as far as the "wear on cams" bit... :gonk: I'm approaching 170k on the original engine in my car and the cams look brand new compared to that. I would definitely have someone at least look at them, and probably budget for either regrinding or replacement.

Yeah those cams don't really look all that good. You've got some wear on the bearing surface but more on the lobe itself...do you have a decent picture of the rest of the lobes and the bearing surfaces in the head?

Well, the crossbraces are actually machined as one piece to the head. Those have some weird discoloration and some wear but if you cant detect any knicks when you run a nail across them they're probably fine...but I'd get someone experienced with S2000s to verify. Some vehicles are hard on cams and that sort of wear can be normal, others it's a sign of an oiling issue.

I'd transport the block wrapped in a towel and/or bubble wrap around it.
