So after two different vacations and much procrastination, I will be reinstalling the engine - tranny into my car this Saturday. Recall the good Doctor did his magic on the tranny. I've fiddled with the gaskets on the oil cooler. if not done by then we will adjust the valves too. should be a busy day.
Beverages and grill after we're done - or late afternoon.

My place in Frederick. PM me for directions.
required attendees: Scottb. Leo Imperial, Evan, Zymurgist and anyone else who wants to drop by!

starting time 10-ish am

I'll see if I can make it. I don't think I've got any plans for Saturday.

Other things that you can learn:
-How SS fuel lines should fit
-How to remove and replace your front blower fan
-Installation of gas tank

All reminence of last nights work of pulling the tank (bathing Matt in gas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), installing SS fuel lines, and removing a very badly siezed fan.

How did it go? Well let me put it this way, I left my house at 8:30am and got homw at 3am.....my dreams were haunted by his car. You know you pushed it when you dream you are still working on the car.

We plumbed the fule system (since he now has new SS fuel lines), adjusted the vlaves with the engine out, put all of the parts back on the engine, put the engine in, installed my special saftey bolts and safety wired them, new engine and tranny mounts all around (911 sporto type), then replaced the throttle cable, found the throttle pedal parts in the pedal cluster to be in ill repair so I took the cluster out and seviced it, reinstalled shifter and linkages, reinstalled the front blower fan, reinstalled all of the hoses and FI on top of the engine, and I am sure other things that escape my mind.

And in the middle of all of this I also completely serviced Jens's shift linkage by putting in new bushings and cone screws. His socket bushing at the end of his linkage was no more and was why his car was shifting like poo.

All that should be left to do today is to install the sway bar and fuel tank. We would have continued on, but drilling with a hole saw at 1am tends to make wives and neighbors unhappy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Ken (Zymergist) and I stayed until the bitter end at 1:30am, Jens and Herb (Crash914) hung out until about 10pm or so (I think).

Thanks for all the grub, kids had a blast. Lets do this again soon...

Check thy log bolts... but don't overachieve. Matt and Mike both had a heck of a time breaking the front bolts loose... the wheels somehow turned even with the weight of the car on them, and with my fat ass sitting on the front bumper! Oh well, at least we know now that the wheels would never have "just come off." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
