Yes, still on. We can drop the compressor here if you want. If you don't have that pivoting 17mm gear wrench for the front bolt, it's a pain. You probably have a set by now though, if not, I've got one.

Small but fun gathering at my place today. We had Donald from College Station, Herman, and we met Jorge who owns two 83's. It was fun having 3 928's in the garage all at one.
We had a hell of a time getting R12 into Donald's AC system and finally figured out it was the schrader valve on the low side not opening. Eventually after Donald cranked the hose fitting tighter several times, we got it flow. 3 cans later she was blowing cold.
I got most of my cam seals replaced which was easier than I thought it would be. Used a dremel to remove the plastic ridge around the 10mm bolt which made it easier to get a gear wrench on them. Just have the lower passenger rear seal and front passenger left to do, but I can already tell a difference on the garage floor. Should have done it long ago. Also replaced the MAF large O ring which was original and very hard. It seems to run better now, so I think the wobbly MAF was letting in unmetered air.
Anyway, Here's a few shots I took.

It was molto bene- thanks to Don (& Julie). Had a bobble as Don said but he & Herman pooled sufficient stubborness that we gotter' done. Then he fed us!
Thanks again
Thanks again

I'll be out of town next weekend (3rd Sat), so if there's going to be a gathering, someone needs to come up with an idea and post it here and shoot an email to the Google group.

All,
Once again I will be out of town on the 3rd Sat (6/19) this month, so if anyone wants to throw out an idea for a GTG, feel free.
Bill and I will be putting my new lift to use Sunday afternoon from about 4-6 installing some poly sway bar bushings on his car and Derlin rack bushings on mine. If you feel like stopping by, feel free. Let me know if you need directions.

3rd Saturday - Houston GTG - 8/21
Looks like we have a few folks coming over to my place in Cypress Saturday afternoon. It’s looking a like a hot day, but we’ll start around 4 and I’ve got a large fan and my garage is open on both ends, so shouldn’t be too bad. Feel free to bring any refreshments you would like. If we get hungry we can always order a pizza. As I said the lift is available for use and I have most tools, including air tools.
PM me if you need directions, and also let me know if you think you’ll be coming by.
