FWIW, my engine went back in on Tuesday night this week. So that means the jack pad adapter is available. Is this something you'll need, John?

OK, I'm definately in.
David, please bring the torque wrench. Is it 3/4 or 1/2?
My sockets are 1/2".
Do you have an adapter?

John, what tools do you still need?
I do have some square pads I made to go under my jack stands. They are about 1-1/2".
I also have: 1/2 impact and 1/4" impact ratchet that works great on the axle bolts.
I don't think the ATV jack will go in the 911, but if you need it I guess we can figure out how to get it there.
Wood blocks? Just give me a list!
See you there!

Josh, I think he'll need it. Are you going to his engine drop? I probably will. Just because I like getting really cold, greasy and dirty.

If you're not going Josh, I could grab the adapter from you and take it to John's.
