Sorry, no cable here. The Pens play maybe seven more times, but how many chances do we get together.
I would rather mess with my car than watch a butch of sweaty Canadians frolick around on a big patch of ice, but thats just me. Its times like this that show who the real car guys are.

I will not be able to make it. I have been busy with work, working on my house, and wedding planning leaving me with virtually no time to complete the remaining 75% of my Vortech install.

I ran into some trouble when removing the oil pan. One of the oil pan bolts broke off flush with the block. I tried a bolt extractor only to have that break off inside the bolt. After a total of about 10 hours off screwing with this bolt using numerous size drills, extractors, and tungsten carbide Dremel bits I will have to use a heli-coil anyway. Needless to say I have not been extremely motivated to spend another few hours on my back just so I can pick up from where I left off 3 weeks ago on the rest of the install. At this pace I would be surprised if I have this done by the end of May. Wish me luck.

You could have spent $20 and used the oil pan drain plug setup I found instead. Takes a headache and hours of work and turns it into maybe 5 minutes. Maybe you can still consider doing this instead of modifying your oil pan.
