Re:need help w/ZC
heres the deal with the ZC.. breifly
Head componets for the ZC head blow ***, their is hardly any aftermarket support for this head. Valves & valve springs will have to be custom. Camshafts, good luck HKS makes billet ones that are incredibly hard to find and cost a smart fortune. You do have the option of a regrinded camshaft (this is what I do) they basicaly cut the backside of the cam to give more duration and slightly more lift. It works out ok. Cam gears, you can use B-series ones, but the offset is just a bit off, and will rub the backside of the timing cover (easy fix) or you can buy authentic Jun/HKS adj cam sprokets that run about 170 a piece
As far as I know, Endyn is the only one who offers pistons for the ZC. For rods, you can use the D16a6 rods Eagle/Crower.

Re:need help w/ZC
i really like my zc motor, its internally stock right now, i'll build it when it burns up. i plan on having colt cams regrind my cams this summer, or maybe hks, i'm not totally sure. i drive a lot of highway, and i have a dx tranny on it, so it gets great mileage and has an amazing top end for a NA d series. its going turbo this summer hopefully, but for now its an awesome improvement compared to the d15 and 4 speed tranny. i would recomend the zc to anyone...especially for the money. easier to drive around than my friend's b series motor cause the torque is in a more useable place, just like a d series.
