Anyone in the SoCal area doing a weekend Engine Drop in the near future?

MY83SC · 12-30-2003, 11:24 AM

Hello! I have never attended an "Engine Drop Clinic." I am hoping that someone in the SoCal area will be doing so in the near future. I have read all of the "Drop" threads, but nothing like seeing one done. I more than want to attend one before attempting to "drop the diapers" on mine....Thanks in advance!!!

You have diapers under your decklid? Those may be the problem, not the engine....

Scott, how's that clutch doing??

Should have asked two weeks ago when I dropped mine. I coulda used th moral support and someone to hold the beer

If all the parts I bought show up before the first I may even be putting it back in this weekend.

Darn it Sam! Not only along with "well above adverage" beer holding skills...I am well versed in giving "Ada Boys!"

Mike, it sounds like you are perfect for the job. If you can spot a socket as it rolls off to hide who knows where, you're hired

Ryan:

I'm planning on attending the TRE New Year's Day run. If the clutch goes belly-up or feels like it's about to do so, I may have an engine drop in my future. Keep your fingers crossed (one way, or the other.

)

LOL....Let's not hope for bad things

.....But There maybe a few more than 1 SoCal drop needed after trying to stay up with TRE and the boys....

If my neck heals as scheduled, I'll be doing a drop in 2 weeks. How much do you want to see?

Please post if any of you do an engine drop in Jan. I'll be in town between Jan 17 and 25th so would love to catchup with guys doing a drop. I promise not to bring my China made sockets and wrenches

Jim was a great help on my first drop. Thanks JIM!! ..Of course my engine is still sitting on his ATV jack

My parts have finally all arrived so Jim's jack should be available for him to lend out late Sunday nite if all goes well.

Be forewarned about engine drops, my clutch job has led to a plethora of new parts:

1. new fan and housing
2. sound pad
3. engine compartment seal
4. turbo supply line
5. torsion bearing
6. billet SC cams and all necessary installation tools (Well... the chain housing covers were leaking!)
7. Disc Brake Clock (since I was ordering parts anyway.)

Speeder/Denis,

I was side-swiped, rear-ended, then rear-ended again by an SUV on my motorcycle. Now the CHP stated in his report that it was 50% my fault, although the SUV tried to get out the carpool lane (while I was lane-sharing) over a solid white, double-solid yellow lines. I just had my 2nd epidural/cordizone shot yesterday morning and as always, I was told to limit my activities for a while.

I NEED A GOOD MOTORCYCLE ATTORNEY!!!!!!!! waaaaaah! waaaaag!

And you are still alive? What kind of riding gears were you on? Arai + Aerostitch? I am a rider myself. I know what's the best gear.

cab83_750 · 11:48 AM

Shoei! Leather pants (generic), CF gloves, TourMaster jacket or my Clover jacket (can't remember).

Though the rear-ends caused wheelies, nobody believed that I did not fall. Having logged 12K+ miles in the canyons must have helped.

MY83SC · 01-02-2004, 05:21 AM

Im back....I wasn't planning to drop my engine until this spring or early summer...Why I wanted to view a drop before attempting my own...I live in Buena Park....Denis...Keep us posted...Or anyone else who will be doing a drop .....More the better....Right?
