Thanks!

Any SF/North bay people want to meet up to head down there? (Figure it might save me the hassle of looking up and following directions down there)

Thanks everyone for coming out! You guys were great. I had fun having conversations with you guys while I was working on each of your cars. A few little scares today on the DIY's. All but one was remedied and good to go! Brendan, we're lucky to catch that sunken valve ahead of time. We'll get you straightened out in no time.

Mac thanks for setting this up. Also thanks to Vu for helping out with the DIY's too. Great to meet all the new peeps. I hope to see you guys soon at a Friday meet, gathering and/or track event!

Cheers!!
Jei

Yea much thanks to BlackTrax for hosting the event, and Mac for setting it up. It was fun to learn something I hadn't done befofe, and to be able to do it with a group. My DIY almost went smoothly, it was just my .008 feeler and my 10mm socket disappearing behind the engine that delayed my progress significantly. The car does seem to run smoother and quieter now, almost all of my exhaust valves were too tight and the intakes were too loose.
