[FA-18C]

Agree 100% with Dennis.This is the kind of event the recharges the motivation level for me within the community. We were blessed with a great mix in the class with varied experience, and all made the experience that much better for me. It was an interesting transformation for me - and perhaps dangerous to some extent. Tony has a gift for a mix of technical understanding of the motors and old fashioned McGyver "figure it out" work ethic. His collection of both self made and Stomski tools, and Tony tricks and techniques will save 100s of hours of research for those WTF head-scratching moments.

Thanks to all of the other attendees who for me, made this event all the better. Collectively, I am not sure we left many questions unasked - just a great group of Pelicanites.

Recommendation for the next round of attendees, go on Stomski's website and watch the videos on setting Top Dead Center, and the process top time the Cams and set the valve clearance. This will give you a good foundation that Tony will build on - by the end, the group was trouble-shooting and resolving some "oh crap moments" - which builds confidence and more importantly, familiarity with every engine component on the long block. I even know was some of the doohickeys and whatchamacallits are now.


So thank you Tony - this is something I will talk about for a LONG time as one of my favorite 911 events.Dennis, Lash, Ross, JT and Kenneth - thank you all as well - just a great group to work with.


As a challenge - and for the record, Tony said we were the best group, EVER. And we were able to make enhancements by lightening the engine with a handful of left-over parts. Good luck and enjoy the fantastic even.
