A "maintenance day" (Beasts Of the North East, BONE MD? OK, let's hear the Urologist jokes...) is scheduled for Saturday May 4th (rain or shine) at Bob Lyle's house/garage in Loudon NH, not far from the NH International Speedway.
We're gonna help him pull his plenum to replace the fuel injectors and see if we can help solve his driveability problems. Bob says he'll "break out the barbie"! Munchie and beveridge donations are more than welcome! Let's make this a NE Group GTG all are welcome, we've already got a few members of the "Brotherhood" signed up! You don't have to get your hands dirty if you don't want to, supervisors, critics and Peanut Gallery participants are encouraged! This will be a good oppurtunity to be involved in the ZR-1 "Rite of Passage" and a good learning experience for everyone, not to mention helping out someone in the "Brotherhood" Directions to Bob's and further details to follow. Please post up or PM if you think you can make it! Also, we've got a tentative BONE GTG scheduled for Sunday June 2nd same place as the March GTG in Windsor CT, were gonna try to make a "road tour" part of the event so it might start a little earlier than than last time. Stay tuned for details. And, it's not too early to start planning for: ZR-1 BONE GTG, Saturday July 6th @ Lime Rock Park, Northeast Grand Prix ALMS race/Corvette Corral. Watch the C6Rs kick some butt! Details to follow, keep in mind tickets for the Corvette Corral must be purchased in advance Doug dmarshall2003@comcast.net c 860-287-9923 |

okay here's my list of stuff that I could bring if they are not in the tool box at the car's location. This is just stuff to cover all the bases as I remember. It's been a while since I pulled a plenum. I can bring the entire list if needed.
scanner, long torx bits, fuel pres gauge w/ pres. dump, T/Q wrench, permatex blue, blue loc-tite, hand impact driver & bits just in case the water tube bolts are a PIA, patented injector rail removal tool, picks for O-rings, dielectric grease, my gasket set just in case, gasket scraper, scrubbing pad & brass brush, contact cleaner ( for the obvious reasons ), throttle body cleaner, my FSM set, my "go bag", and some shop rags. Sorry, I don't have any spare injectors! ![]() Any body think of anything else? ![]() Tom

With that tool kit appearing, should I bring a 2nd car to crack open LOL?
Half-serious but would love to see the surgery as I'm undoubtedly *next*. Cheers, - Jeff

Jeff, yo coming? If I had the money, I'd bring injectors for my car that day and make it a twofer. Bob says he has room in the garage for two cars. -Steve

Do you guys, Jeff & Steve, have your replacement injectors??? Bring them! We can do your cars while Doug does Bob's car. The way I understand it now that Jerry's Gaskets and FIC are collaborating you have simple one stop shopping. That makes it so easy to get everything to do an injector swap.

Don't think I need injectors but will admit it'd be awesome to get a Z-brutha set of eyes on them. I'd think at 80k and no apparent issues they may have already been done.
What I do have is a nasty vac leak that comes and goes, a need to get the A/C compressor out, and rig something for a PCV catch can as I wind up dripping oil on grid - frowned upon to say the least. Gotta look to see if I'm supposed to be racing that day, - Jeff
