Globe, I have the "air vac" tool for removing all of the air from the cooling system if it turns out that you "accidentally" introduced air into your cooling system. Did you burp it?

If not, go have another martini, bang your head into the door for the second time, then read the section on burping the cooling system.

You must be new here.

We don't do that.

We stand around drinking beer, listen to the swearing from somewhere beneath the car, and periodically tell Mike, 'that's not how I'd do it', 'Good thing I won't be behind you in T1 when that lets go', 'that'll never pass tech', and so on.

No I didn't accidentally introduce air into the system, I uh, ... I did it on purpose. It's good for it.

Actually, I've been burping it repeatedly since yesterday. I think I've about got all the air out at this point.

Man, you are one confused dude! When it comes to Porsches, it is air good, water bad.

Bill,

Got any essential suspension tools? I'm not clear what if any special tools other than something to compress the springs is needed. I'm planning to put that in next weekend. I think Greg will be ready also. Will you be around?

You are the only tool involved in this whole deal.
