Looks like it was a fun day... I'll be sure to renew my passport so I can make it next year.

Tristan I have a complete 2.8 Fiero V6 suppose to have been rebuilt, we would need to transfer over our accessories to the engine, or grab a spare alternator from the storage locker. I really can't take on a job of an engine swap being I start a new full time Computer IT job on Monday which will take all of my time up. But I will try to help when I can' I know I am going to regret this, but if you need a place to do that and want an experienced eye to look over it as the job goes on, we can do it here. Damian has also expressed interest in helping. I have access to Cynts engine hoist and with his permission we we bring it to the house. We will need to do some clean up to make it all work. But we would drop your motor, swap the parts, inspect this motor and then put it into your car. Probably over a weekend or 2.

The club wants to see you back on the road, as in a way, you are me, 10 years ago. The guy that always pushed the group to have fun and really cut loose. When people cut loose and have fun, hey remember the club and want to come back.

So pull your heads and check for cylinder wall damage if there is, then we can start on this motor and get you going.

Dave, I'm trying to download the videos, but it appears to be limited to about 82KB/sec. This is taking forever. Is the download speed being throttled at my end or yours?

Just to be sure, I went in and did a test download, was peaking around 1200 kBps and average about 500 kBps.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. Awesome trip.
And all the oil has been washed off the front of my car and will be
nice and shiney for next week.

If it makes you feel any better, you both are still probably having a better time then I am. Today, while I was getting ready to take the head of the rear bank, I went upstairs to grab some tools, only to discover the corpse of my cat, so I got to spend my day digging a small grave and burying her too.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Aw man... No, that doesn't make any of us feel any better.

Real sorry to hear that, bud.

What was your cat's name, and how long did you have her?

Sorry to hear about your cat, Tristan... I know what it's like. Not fun.

Hey name was Pegas (As in the first two syllabels of Pegasus), and I had her for 13 years. She died rather young, she was always too thin, could never get her weight up.

Never-the-less, she buried now, and I have a small grave, so I'll get going on the heads, as well as getting the Sierra going. Perhaps I can ask Clynt for an "inspection" if he still sells them.

Thank you everyone though for your kind words and condolences.
