I was wondering if anyone might be either passing through or going to Temecula in the next day or two.

I need a spy to stop by and check on the progress of my car. The place is up on Rainbow Canyon Rd.

Yeah, me every workday 9:30 - 6 or 7 pm I ride Rainbow Canyon rd on my road bike 2 - 3 days a week. What kinda work U havin done?

Motor rebuild. It's suppose to be done this week. I was just wanting somebody to eyeball the progress and see if the schedule is realistic.

I need it for this weekend.

where on Rainbow cyn rd? what is the name of the shop? I will go by for you. what is the name of the eng. builder/

Bernie

Marv & Bernie,

PM'd ya both.

Thanks

Nevermind guys. Just talked to the mechanic and he still hasn't gotten the parts back from the machine shop. He is also telling me that when they were cutting the heads they found an air pocket in the casting so it will need to be welded and machined.

He says there is still a possibility that it'll be done by Friday.

This is the 6th week.

its not Gervais Engine doing the work is it?

No it's Don Clark at Victory Motorsports. I know he does excellent work it's just taking twice as long as originally scheduled.

Thanks Bernie!!!

Just got a call from Bernie. He stopped by the garage and found out









that the parts are still not back from the machine shop.

I saw two impressive 911's when I was there.. one orange and one white.. man oh man was that some nice cars..

maybe i did the swap, thats why it takes him so long to figure out how to mount the engine into your car
