You have to slightly modify the bottom of the backplate for the cambelt at the bottom because of the shape of the z20let oil pump!

Shame you got to this point. I was pissed off with mine too as everything seem to go wrong and I spent a fortune on it believe me. A number of times I nearly gave up but carried on and went for my feature and glad I did. Horrible feeling the way you do mate I've been there many times

well there were bets happening at work that i wouldnt sell it and they were right  .. so its in bits yet again so nothing new to show of it but we had a couple of things in at work one which made me laugh.
first the lambo replica . which looked more real than i thought it would
and the thing that made me laugh was the owner of this towing eye decided to fit a subaru to it.
