Message	:I'm not one to jump on Z1s platinum plated wagon, ... :but this one is totally on you. the engine over heated, you continued to drive it. period. :i remember your previous posts on this, and i stayed out of it then because I am not a huge supporter of Z1. :but i need to step over the line and side with Z1. :if you assembled the engine, you could have used too much selant on the water pump or other permatex'ed items.... and the extra spooged out sealant could have damaged your engine. :good luck to BOTH of you; :Z1, for having to say "no, it's not our fault" :You, for having to make a really difficult decision on what the future of your Z will hold.
