One of the things I want to do when we put the new manifold on is to dump my heater hoses. (I already have the mainfold plug and expansion tank capoff)

I want to flush the heator core and then use air to blow out all the water.

No more heat!!!
Yes, i have one.

How did I miss this post?? I'm in. I'll most likely be there as early as possible. I have exhaust, which should be quick, and if we have time the check valve thing.

I have a "lord of the dance" show to go to later that day. Don't ask, it was the wife's parents idea.

I have beer and soda I can bring over. Coors, coke, root beer. Just tell me what you like!!

Yes - I thought that was a great suggestion you had to do the disassembly and surface prep to let dry overnight - but Id also hate to take up your Friday evening so just let me know what schedule works for you.

Thanks!

Where did you order the 02s from? you can pick them up at NAPA, PEPGirls, etc.... Make sure to bring them with you on the 16th. We can swap them out.

We can also look at the other things as well. Do a search in the c4 tech section for injector or injector testing.

Ordered them from GM, a friend of mine gives me 10% over cost on all Gm parts (better than cost plus outrageous shipping from superior chevy).

P.s. where do you live, and can one have too much Corona?
