Is anyone willing to host a tech session this Monday or Tuesday. I want to install a crank pulley and engine dampener that I got from Mike. I don't have a plethora of tools and my garage isn't the largest. So if anybody wants to lend a hand and their garage for a few hours this week, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Bring her over Tues. nght. I live in Aliante. Let me know. I have everything we will need besides a true breaker bar. What I use for a breaker bar is my 3/8ths ratchet and my jack handle

 

Thanks! What time Tuesday? I'll bring the mmm...beer.

How about 7pm? Should only take about 2-3 hours.

 

7pm it is.

 

Rescheduled...Date/Time TBD. Standby to standby!

 

This is now going to be at Kenny's dad's place on saturday (directions will be posted later). We will attempt to do headers and pulley. Mike, can you bring the headers and belt(s) with you to fastlap and I will bring cash.

 

Wow, headers. Ambitious.

I'll swing by to help out.

 

I will bring them for you. Unfortunately I will not be able to lend a hand on Saturday as I will be in Utah riding dirtbikes with six Yugoslovs and a Jew .

 

I hope you have at least a full day for headers. It's not too easy of a task.

 

I have some thermal tape for headers that I can bring along too if you want to use it.

 

I wish I could help (I'd like to get some header install experience on this car), but I'll either be at "The Drive" with my brother (it's military day) or in Flagstaff flying.

 

Thermal tape would be nice...

 

six Yugoslovs and a Jew

I'am still waiting to hear the joke.

 

I would love to help out. I have to drive my truck to So.Cal. and pick up a couch that my wifes sister gave her, what fun....
I hope you guys have AC or at least a swamp cooler in that garage this weekend, it's going to be hot!

 

Kenny's Dad's place: 440 Ridgeway Rd Henderson, NV 89015

We will be there ~0700 and plan to be there all day. Bring spare tools and plenty of water as it will be around 115 again tomorrow.

 

Yea its goin to be hot. The pit is outside,but shaded.

 

Darn, i work from 8 - 4 tomorrow. I was hopin i could swing through and have someone take a look at this really loud annoying squeak from my engine. One of the pulleys on the lower passenger side of the engine compartment. Really annoyin.

 

Slept in. I'll be by there in a little bit.

 

Ty showed up and was a lifesaver with his mister. Instead of bring broiled we were only poached. Besides the heat, it went good. About 9-10 hours with the headers, crank pulley, fixing the exhaust rattle and adjusting the steering wheel position.

 

Thanks to Ty, Kenny and Kenny's neighbor for the help. It went fairly smooth except for a couple studs that were in a tight space. We didn't remove the coolant hoses as suggested and that gave us some awkward angles to work around. Pulley was a piece of cake and only took 20 minutes.

The car was noticably faster and smoother in the midrange. The car is quieter and the tone is deeper. I can't wait for the Nomex to cure and the zip ties to finish melting b/c it stinks! A/C seems to be working normally but I haven't tested it at a stoplight yet.

 

Hey guys just wondering if it would be possible to get another day sometime this week as I need to get some springs and sway bars installed and I'm fairly new to this stuff and I don't have any tools as my house. If anyone would be down to help I'd appreciate it.

I work from 8am-4:30pm everyday so I can do it anytime after 4:30. Thanks again.

 

After that last tech session, we need someone with an air conditioned garage.Or at least wait til it cools off a little.
