Pics - Tech Night in Calgary...
Hi everyone,
Here are some pictures I took during the tech night in Calgary hosted by Marc B. - Alpine Autowerks. Thanks Marc! This is what happen when a horse on HW1 meets a Porsche, according to Marc this car is on the edge but it is possible to save it, BTW the driver is Ok  Two more shots of the close encounter with a horse http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads2/P10105851061354553.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads2/P10105861061354573.jpg Then some beauties....        The stars of the show.. Marc: Answering all questions and giving some tips for winter...  Peter: Doing the valve work.... Every time he reached for that small lamp there was a new problem on that 79' motor that was leaking from the crank shaft (*I think)  -J

Absolutely great, informative evening. Sympathies are extended to Bob James (Stealthn) for the new problems discovered with his 3 litre engine during the valve adjustment demo. Nothing Marc and Peter can't cure, I'm sure.
Thanks very much to Bob, Marc and Peter for putting this event together! Ken |

Yes thanks to everyone who attended. I think it was good, but I was also hoping for more subjects. I will talk to Marc about having more in the future.
And thanks for the sympathies Ken, I'm not too bummed (it is almost a 25 year old car) until I see the bill. (Oh well only one child goes to University  )Two issues were found, a plug missing on the crank shaft where it connects to the tranny. This one could be painful, as it could mean yanking the crank, which means splitting the case. If I have alot of money I'd go to a 3.2 displacement change and better cams, but alas I'm dreaming. The other issue was corrosion on the drivers side cam on the exhaust side. I told them to take it out and give me an appraisal for weld/regrind. (Cross fingers and collective Zen here), otherwise it's look for a used one...expensive. The other option if grinding is doable, is going to a 964 grind to change the repsonse in the throttle band, but I'll be happy to stay with stock. More functions to come.... <Currently Porscheless>
