From what I hear, did a cruise (was it a tractor or a pickup truck that held you guys up this time :lol:), pulled an engine, likely cooked some brats and ate hash browns. A few adult beverages were probably enjoyed as well.

Thanks for making it happen on the Swedespeed side Jay!

Note, when Lee says "we" he means Art, Justus and Joe. Lee's doing commentary from the sidelines and providing the necessary beverages. Right? :P

Oh that's right, I forgot Stu and Lucas were there. Yeah, that makes sense then. Joe's probably over futzing over the brakes again on the 240.

the real question is how long will it take you to diagnose and repair the problem, then get the engine back in!

Well we found one possible reason. Pretty much all of the flywheel bolts were loose and RMS was leaking. I will have to pull the pan and maybe part of the bottom end to check the bearings.

I took pictures. Too many people make for too many mistakes. I have also had some of the most engine pulling exp out of the bunch.(I assume) I don't care if I see any more.

The 12 pages here led up to last year's IKEA meet. This year's meet is currently in the works, albeit slowly.

would anyone be against small weekly meets? I have some friends with VWs who are on the VWVortex forum and they have small weekly meets just in the schaumburg area. It isnt necessarily big or sponsored or anything... Just a buncha guys that meet up somewhere and talk cars and such.
