I might be bringing some surprises to this.

Time to bring this thread back from the dead folks.

Skip???...ohhhhh, Skiiiiiiiiiiiiiip

What's the plan?

 

Aight! How is that date for those interested? Since this one needs some technical skills, the dates available are not as open as say a Drinkfest!

February 29th or March 21st? or

Speak up and we'll make this happen!

 

I'm in for March 21st.

 

Feb 29th would work muuuuuuuuch better for me! Can my vote for Feb 29th count?

Either is fine by me.
Actually, the sooner the better...

 

Then Feb 29th!!!

 

So what's the deal with tools? I'm covered for myself up until I hit the point of actually doing the valves (i.e. I don't have 90deg feeler gauges).

Also, I'm going to need a new gasket set (valve cover, plugs, and retaining bolt gaskets). I think someone mentioned they had a set? If it's complete, I'll take it, otherwise I'll order a set now.

 

I have the valve gasket set you're wanting . Bring $30 & its yours.

Tools should be covered by the shop. However, I have a set of feeler gauges (not 90 degree...but not flat either...). They're 45s and did fine for last valve adjust clinic . I've also purchased a set of the "hole-through-the-ratchet/sockets" that should prove beneficial as it would allow us to pass a screwdriver down through the set screw, holding it in place, while adjusting the retaining nut with the ratchet/socket .

Laz will also have similar tools, so we'll be good to go!

Sounds good. I realized we'll have to sit around for what, an hour or so before we get started (engine needs to cool down first)....
I'm assuming we're still doing this at Quantico?
