1031... Sounds like your on the right track, so I apologize if you are already up to speed on all of this stuff. Your Z120 engine originally had front bearing shells with a flange, and no thrust washer. The Z129 used a straight front bearing with no flange, but with a thrust washer. The same rebuild option is available, and commonly used, for the Z120, ie. a straight front bearing shell with a thrust washer. Absolutely everything else is the same, it's just that front shell & washer combo. I would venture to assume that someone has been inside your TE engine before, and replaced the original flanged bearing with the straight bearing & washer. Sounds like maybe your looking at rebuild kits that utilize the original style flanged front bearing, so you would not need the thrust washer. But all the other parts are the same and will work with either bearing type. This site sells rebuild kits for your Z120 engine with either bearing style, so you can choose to stick with the straight shells and thrust washer, or switch to the flanged bearing with no washer. Totally your call, I don't think one design is better than the other. Assuming you already know this, but you can buy rebuild kits with, or without crank bearings. Make sure you need'em before you buy'em. The manual has spec's for bearing wear that you can check pretty easy with plasti-gauge thread, available at any car parts place. Sounds like your getting ready to spend a big chunk of $$$, just 'cus your doing a full rebuild, don't assume everything needs replaced, it could save you some money. Been there, done that.
