Default Lu's 73E - Engine Drop
Hi all,

I'm going to drop the engine out of Lu's car so I can clean it up real well and make the recommended modification to the air deflectors. I'm hoping this will improve the oil temps prior to my planned installation of an external oil cooler. "While I'm in there," I'll do a valve adjustment, too.

For those of you that'll be around during the Memorial Day weeked, I'm planning on doing this on Saturday, May 24th. All are welcome to come on by. Liquid refreshments will be provided and I'll fire up the grille, too.

Richard, no Pabst pounders, please.

PS: If you miss the drop, I'm going to put it back in the following weekend.

I only want to "borrow" it for a couple of DEs. 8)

Oh yeah, I also want to wrench on it to get it in real good shape for Lu.

Jim,

Let me know what you'll need from my garage.

I'm assuming the motorcycle and tranny lift. Anything else?

Sorry Jim, but I'll have to catch you for the re-install. We already have out of town plans for Memorial Day weekend.

Hope everything goes well!

Jim, That's the weekend my son and I always go to the NCAA lacrosse tournament. This year it's in Baltimore. Sorry I won't be able to join in your fun, but I'm sure you can manage without my advice. I'll try to make your reinstall party though.

- Bill

Jim--

I'll try to make it. Should I bring my special locknut wrenches?
