WMD for LT5 Teardown planning update - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

QB93Z · 03-23-2010

T-4 and Counting!

Saturday is the big day for the Westminster Maintenance Day when we will dis-assemble Phil's LT5 Engine.

If anyone needs directions or other information, call me (443-244-1347).

The Official WAZOO Weather Checker reports that the outlook for Saturday is SUNNY.

Fifteen ZR-1 owners have signed up, and several more are expected to join us.

The Official WAZOO LT5 Transport Crew has made arrangements for a Friday pick up of the engine in New Jersey, with a Friday afternoon ETA in Westminster.

In addition to the LT5 Teardown, we will be doing an oil pan gasket replacement on Yun's 1994 ZR-1.

The Official WAZOO Activities Director has announced that we will probably have a brand new White 2010 ZR-1 at the WMD. We will offer to do a water pump replacement, but the owner may not take us up on that.

The some of the members of the local Carroll County Corvette Club have heard about this exciting event and have asked if it is OK if they come by and meet the guys. I said: "Sure".

The Official WAZOO Food Preparation Team, (fully rested after their arduous duty at 2009 Corvettes at Carlisle) are standing by to serve all attendees a deluxe lunch. Rumors are circulating that there will be more WAZOO Mac-n-Cheese at this event.

The Official WAZOO IT Guys are verifying the direct network access to the internet from the WMD garage. There will live (almost) updates throughout the day to allow the entire ZR-1 Community to do an eTeardown.

More updates to follow.

Jim,
I would like to come by early and get the camera set up, let me know if that's OK or do you already have a camera guy?
BTW, where are you going to park all these Z's

Event Kick-off is at 9:00 AM. If you got here at 8:00 AM that would be fine with me. Will that give you enough time?

Parking will be tight. I arranged a couple of Drivers Ed students to do Valet Parking. Bring your Valet Keys.

Fantstic! Jim.
Would you like me to pick up something on the way up?
Wait 'till my car is on the lift. I got a few more than just oil pan...

QB93Z · 03-24-2010

You don't need to pick anything up, but thanks for offering.

See you on Saturday.

I am heading out from Reston at about 7:30 and guess I will see you guys around 9... really looking forward to the GTG

Great Michael!

Everything is ready to go.

The LT5 arrived at the WMD site today at 1700. (Thanks David for running up to NJ with me.)

Early birds are arriving at 0800 to get things set up. Coffee and Donuts should be here at 0900. (I might have planned that backwards.)

The weather will be cool in the morning but the day is supposed to be sunny.

Lunch at 1200.

Professor Phil is ready to school us all on the internals of an LT5!
