Message	Absolutely one of the worst jobs I have done on the Z after rebuilding the whole thing. I had to "custom" oval some of the pipes myself with a vise, and definitely caused some aesthetic damage to them. Also for obvious reasons, the drivers side is much tighter due to the oil cooler being on that side of the Rad. It is unbelievably tight, but doable nonetheless. If I had to do it again I would go ash all the way. Then you probably wont need to swear as much. Here's proof Very Tight - And thats only 1 pipe! "It seems like a lot of bolts have been omitted... Judging by the amount of them in the 'random fasteners' bag. I am beginning to think my Z is being held together by zap straps"
