Are we set on Saturday now? Either day still works for me. I just need to make some plans for the other weekend day.

I would say it is a go for Saturday, I had a parts mix up, so I will be driving with a half dead TPS.

That's Ok. We'll try to keep the idle time down to a minimum.

Saturday works! So can you be more specific about the Waffle House at 400 and 19...because 400 pretty much IS 19 and there are a bunch of Waffle Houses.

The address of the Waffle House is 45 Long Branch Road (high way 115), it is just North of where 19 turns west at the North end of 400.
I hope this helps.

If any of you guys have the Garmin MapSource program it is easy to find, I really like MapSource, it kind of puts your GPS maps on your computer.
Just make a route, plug in the GPS and go.

So we're a go! FWIW Greg I'll pm my contact information over, but we'll meet you at that Waffle House and if nothing else I'll enjoy getting the 928 out and about. Anyone else?

My better half may go, but I am a go, I will send you my contact numbers in a few. (any body else who is planning to go should share their numbers also)
Looks like a nice day for a drive.

The front TB cover has traces of coolant AGAIN so it appears like I have another issue with the w/p. So besides using w/p sealer on the gasket and on the bolts and torqueing the bolts to the correct specs I must be doing something else wrong...

Pull the covers off so you can see what is going on and pressure test it, I doubt you did any thing wrong putting a WP on.

There were some engines that had a TSB on the water bridge that you had to use a gasket plus the o-rings or they would leak, not sure if it applies to yours or not.

Sucks either way, and BTW, welcome to my world.

The water bridge is leaking a little bit. The worst part is to get to it, the SC has to come off. I was planning to do all this after SITM so I can take my time to powder coat the SC, base plate etc. Sucks!!

That will work for me, I am not sure if Helen is coming with me or not, but I am sure she would like it.

Who else is going to make it?
