Engine Rebuilding Workshop Abroad.......

Ricardo,

It would not be easy or simple to conduct an Engine Rebuilding Workshop away from HOME. But it is doable. I was offered to fly and stay for free at a resort in the Canary Islands with my wife and rebuild a 3.0 liter. The invitation was exciting but not practical. It could take several weeks or months to finish and run the motor. The cylinder heads may need some machine work and spare parts might take weeks to arrive. I reluctantly refused to accept the generous offer plus I had a full time job at that time. Now that I am retired, my schedule is more flexible.

A workshop is much less stressful because I have done this many times over. If you are serious and have a garage to do the sessions, send me an email to discuss the logistics. We might be able to pull this through. Thanks.

Tony

Tony,
An intermediate step could be to organise a video conference, using ZOOM or SKYPE.
To send your workshop around the world👍🏼👍🏼

Ricardo.
Tony has noted several times in pages past that this really isnt a feasible idea. Having taken this class it is pretty clear that given the subject matter, the space constraints, and the logistics of needing at least a two, and better a three camera set up, that is a valid summation from Tony.

This is a hands on project. It really is best to be on-site observing, handling, and taking notes. Trying to do all that while someone is poking a camera in the way of you trying to do what you need to do will be a frustrating experience.

I often consider taking this class again, such a joy to learn this stuff. Tony is a fine instructor who created a fantastic learning environment. We are so lucky to have him here on the East Coast.

Hi Tony,

This class and the way you teach it sounds like the perfect preparation for my upcoming engine rebuild, thanks to a broken head stud and worn valve guides on my 3.2.

I'd be flying in from Austria just for this, so will have to check regarding decently priced flight options to the US. The 11-12 May class looks like the safest bet, to make sure that the whole thing doesn't get cancelled at the last minute if one participant drops out? I'm afraid my cheap economy tickets will not be refundable....

Cheers,
Lukas

Lukas,

I have another guy from Europe attending the April 27-28 Group. Pick the dates you could attend and book your flight. You could save some $$$ if you take the local train from Philadelphia International Airport to Norristown, PA. It is not a direct ride and requires a transfer. Since you are from Europe, you are more familiar using local trains to commute. For hotel accommodations, I suggest check with Hyatt House in East Norriton, a walking distance from the previous venue.

Tony

where are you situated in Europe ? if we could have 10 participants, we could divide the cost over the participants for Tony to fly over / hotel / food maybe ? A garage and an engine doesn't seem the hardest part ?

I'd gladly pay a couple of EURO's extra for this unique event ! keep me posted

For the April 27-28 folks, anyone heading to the swap meet the day after? I'm flying in and won't have transport but would be happy to chip in for group transport if folks are keen.

Kenneth and 27-28 APR folks. If attendees would like to coordinate lodging locations and share general info ahead of time PM me and I will put together a spreadsheet for contact etc... I am driving up from Virginia the day prior and will have a Highlander, more than willing to assist with those flying in getting to and from the hotel to the training site.

I am planning on driving over to Carlisle for the Swap Meet, but will depart SAT afternoon headed south towards the barn. Anyone catching a ride over would need to sort out how to get back to their point of departure.

Chris
