I'm interested - later the better

Good idea, but how do you guarantee cold weather?


Diesels may seem tricky to start in cold weather, but once you know what they need it is not issue. I love starting a 617 on a cold day. There is some sort of satisfaction in it. But then I grew up on a farm dealing with five diesel tractors in the winter.

I think January + Michigan pretty much guarantees that.....;)

I'm in.




Which Detroit shop?

Probably would work for me - where is everybody? Too cold in Michigan in January for a GTG?

Answer:
 

Looks Like January 26 will be better for everyone.

Satish's shop?

Yes.
 

I am trying to make final plans with him now. :)

Last JAN in upper Michigan was horrid. :)
I would strongly suggest end of FEB or latter for some OK weather.
Detroit is fine in JAN, but getting there it won't..
Just my 2 cents..

Thanks,

I'd be interested too if I could get my car to start. Think it's the battery plus cables. Will let you know next week after I get back from a short trip and change everything.

The battery will only start the car if I recharge it overnight. Thought I might have a short but it doesn't seem so. Am too busy and it's too late after work to do anything. Maybe will get a day off when something is open to get a good battery.

You have a Private Message
 

Talk to you soon.

Absolutely diesel heads, let's all have a nice tech session and hope for presentable weather. I agree that mid January plus Michigan will/should make for a cold weather guarantee.

For any directions, etc, please visit our website, www.motorwerksgroup.com or feel free to contact either myself or one of our two managers at (248) 668-6793

If i wanna adjust my valves should i get a new valve cover gasket or will the old one work again?

New.
 

A new gasket is smart, and cheap insurance.
