I got off work at 1:30 a.m., packed up a lot of engine parts and headed to the Z nationals, i got there at about 8:30 a.m.
Had alot of fun, met some people. Didn't win anything of course. Left at 7:45ish a.m. this morning, after sleeping in my car for a few hours.
I'm driving along and my engine suddenly stops running, and i'm thinking "oh crap, my timing belt snapped" I put it in neutral and tried restarting it. It wouldn't happen.
So i pull on the side of the road, let it cool down and do it's oil burning on the exhaust thing for about 10 minutes. I try to restart it, and it starts back up perfectly fine , Make sure all fluid levels are good, and head back.
Leave work tonight, and my Battery and a bunch of other lights came on, headlights got pretty dim, etc. Whip out the multimeter and it seems as my battery is not getting charged anymore!!! Makes me pretty damn mad, as I've replaced this alternator twice already in the last 3 years I've owned it. I'm going to look into it more tomorrow when there is daylight. I'm hoping a wire or something is loose. I thought it was really bizarre for the alternator to stop charging in the middle of me driving. And it's the first time the Z has actually told me my battery wasn't being charged! Last 2 times i had to find out the hard way. I'm happy the last alternator i bought was from O'reilly with a lifetime warranty :D.I'm pretty desperate to get rid of some parts if anyone is interested. Such as a Crank, Rods, NA injectors still in the rail, NA crank pulley, All 4 cam gears, oil pump, water pump, water pipes, motor mount brackets, and alot more. I'm going to cut my original asking price by 20% on all these parts, as i need to get rid of them so i fix some problems on the Z.
That is all.
