Wrenching party May 30th @ turbobob924's place

[turbobob924]

Hey guys!

Since I failed at my attempt at swapping my engines in 4 days, I invite anyone to come out next Saturday May 30th to finish.

I basically plan on swamping out the 4.1 from my hybrid Porsche into my Buick. And pulling the Buick motor for a rebuild look see.
I have already pulled the 4.1 out of the Porsche and am ready to pull the Buick out but it looks like I need some help getting it out. I may have to roll the car onto the drive way and pulling it there.


I will send out emails to those I know directly but anyone is welcome.

I will grill some hot dogs for lunch too!

PM me for address and directions if interested even if to just hang out!

 

[turbobob924]

come on guys, free hot dogs!

Since I messed up my back, I have to be more carefull pulling the engine and trans.

 

[turbobob924]

I have talked to a couple guys, again come one come all!

PM me for address and cell phone.

If I can get up early and get the yardwork done I may have time to stop by to lend a hand. I will give you a call in the AM if I can break free.

Excellent!

Sounds like we have about 4 or 5 confirmed and 4 to 4 potential!

Expert or novice, all are welcome!

 

[fatride]

Sorry Bob, I can't make it out Saturday to help you out.

 

[turbobob924]

I appreciate the offers to help tomorrow. Hopefully we can get the 2 motors swapped out.

Again, all are welcome even if for an hour or 2!

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing and meeting more people.

Drop me a PM if you are interested for address and cell phone.

Damn, Bob you had to do it on a day that I have to fulfill an obligation to my wife. (Going out with her side of the family for a luncheon) I don't know when I will get back! Sorry Bob. If you need any emergency parts, the farm will be open; the boys will be there as usual!!!

Bob,looks like you got everything under control their:cool,would love to help but i got my own problems trying to finish removing half of the motor for my cam swap

 

[turbobob924]

Thanks DIAZ 87,

I feel your pain!

That is one of the items on the agenda!

Once the mostly stock motor is pulled, evaluation time! Looking for a wiped cam myself!

The trans needs some help to get out tomorrow too.
