It's hard to tell what year it is though, newer valve cover design but can't make out if the CAS has 1 or 2 connectors. My Z currently has a 92 VH, should be pretty much plug and play correct? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...39601

Check it out WELL before you let it near your car. I once bought a TT Z32 front clip that had originated from ASAP Motors that had low compression on #6. A few people that I know personally have had terrible experiences with ASAP, and if you Google them you will find some class action litigation filings about their unscrupulous dealings.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news :.

If you take the oil pan off, wouldja please get me the measurement described in this post? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the heads up!

I would but the oil pan is damaged, I don't know which part but my measurements would almost surely be different from OEM spec. I would think that anything above 10-15 mm would suffice?

After googling ASAP I am sad. I could have saved $150 by getting the shaft from $300 engines instead. Dammit!
