How far is Eau Claire from you? I MIGHT have to do that if I have a weekend off this summer.
What kind of crap can a minor bring to a party sutch as yours? Sounds like a good time ~Nate

Had one of these such parties the other day helping a friend of mine adjust the valves on his new to him 300D.
The 300SD is good for awhile...I usually put the hood in the service position and sit on the fender area and adjust them. No friends around to help Did a VW last night...showing a friend of mine how to adjust her valves. Doin it without feeler gauges is the only way when it comes to VW Do it by feel/sound on the aircooled |

I brought mine to the stealer in October, Paid $106, and had them adjust the valves while I surfed on my laptop with their wireless and had "free" cookies and coffee in the fancy waiting room. Then a week later I did my tranny fluid/filter change on my own, and bathed in dexron during the event.

WoW....wouldn't you have more light working in the daytime? I'm suprised you could even see the valves!
Glad you guys had fun. I almost always wear nitril gloves. I don't mind getting dirty I just hate that it takes days to go away. Also it's a health hazard gettting oil and grease on your skin. Oil/grease = Cancer Danny

Sounds like a fun day..
Saturday I took advantage of a day that supposed to be rainy and wasn't. I changed the fuel and air filters on my car. Also ran some diesel purge through it just to listen to the hum for a while. Still a little grease left under the fingernails today ... and I like it.
One of my favorite days off is to go visit a buddy that gets into serious car work. I learn something each time, he gets some cheap help ( I work by the beer, paid after we are done). We get to catch up over the course of the day. We've been doing it for over 30 years now. Chuck |

I started using Nitrile gloves about 2 years ago, and rarely DON'T use them now. Take some getting used to, however the wife appreciates my clean hands, and I feel better about it, especially when playing with the kids. Going out somewhere nice is easier too. I agree with the cancer thing. I spent too many years absorbing that crap, just as bad when I was in the printing industry. The other guys in the shop think I'm nuts. I likely am, however I'm a nut with clean hands. Glad you guys had a good time. Working on your favorite pastime with your favorite people doesn't get any better!
