Next Tech Day (1 Viewer)

[H2o]

Hey all. We are looking at Sat. Nov. 21st, 2009 for the next tech day. Convenience Car Care in Manassas has agreed to host it.

Wanted to get a show of hands as to how many people are interested. Currently, I am looking at doing the following topics:

Topic 1: Knuckle rebuild. Inspecting knuckles and steering components on a solid axle truck. Rebuilding of knuckles, bearings, replacing seals.

Topic 2: Engine Tune up for carburetor trucks (adjusting valves, carburetor, timing, etc...)

I am currently in contact with Convenience to see if they can provide a mechanic to help out and what we can cover.

We will accept other projects as well since you will have access to the lifts, but these project will need to be reviewed by me and Convenience to make sure they are feasible to be completed during the day. If you take this route, you will need to know what you are getting into and make sure you can complete most of the work on your own.

Most of the rules for the last tech day at Convenience will apply. There will be a charge.

Let us know.

Thanks.

I'm in as well...wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to replace a leaky rear axle seal and install remote diff breathers on my 4Runner while it's in the air. I already have the parts, but will gladly buy the fluids from Convenience Car Care Center. Wouldn't mind knocking out an oil change either come to think of it, my hands will be dirty anyway.

I will contact Convenience and coordinate. Will let everyone know. I will start a new thread as soon as I confirm the details, but....

MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW!!!

I have yet to join the club yet, but I am interested and will be there. I actually plan in rebuilding my front axle next weekend and may wait to get some pointers.

Anyone up for another breakfast before we start?

Maybe Sam can recommend a place since he is familiar with the area.

I'm game for another breakfast. However, I've never eaten breakfast in Manassas. There is an IHOP and Bob Evans off of 28 close to Manassas road. I'll look around if there is a better more recommended location.

Hold that thought... usually, we and/or convenience provides coffee and donuts in the AM and lunch. Let me pinpoint our schedule for the day. If people end up tackling their own projects, we might need to get started early.
