Message Yeah, I took it to an alternator guy saturday, should have it back rebuilt monday....$80 seems ok. Like you said, I figured it was probably due, plus it was fairly gunked up with grime from the PS hoses.

I'm not doing a 60k because I am only at 95k with the prior 60k done on time. I basically pulled the motor out of fear the mounts could be shot or torn, but once I got them off they are fine. Replacing them anyway with new OEM and hitting everything with wd-40 and scrubbing, replacing all the original hoses with reinforced silicone hoses, and deleting everything deletable, minor relocations as well.

I hope to have an engine worthy of showing off when all is done and not have to avoid entering Z shows. It really was a shame to have a Z with such an outstanding interior and exterior only to be marred by a filthy engine bay.
