VANOS Rebuild Clinic Interest Thread - Williamsburg, VA 12/10/2011

[danewilson77]

I am performing VANOS overhaul on my car next weekend - Saturday, December 10th, 2011.

If anyone is interested in showing up.....lemme know.

I figured the timeline would be something like the below.

1. Start teardown at 0900.

2. Head out to Bellisimos for lunch....around noon or when people get hungry.

3. Finish the build.

***Note: insert beer, laughs, and shenanigens in between 1,2,3 above as you see fit.

***This is a good opportunity for those of you never doing this before, to learn.

You will learn how to do plugs, remove intake, aux pusher fan, and also O2 sensor. I can point to and talk about most of this during the teardown...or anything else you guys are curious about.

RSVP NLT Friday, December 9th, Here.

No interest and I may wait for JW77 to come home from school to do this....as he likes doing this stuff. Just figured I would throw this out to the Family first.

So tempted. I have to check and see if I have any plans next weekend. I haven't done the VANOS on my car yet either.

you should do your belts too...i want to know how to do those ;). this probably isn't a bad idea tho incase my vanos goes bad again. i had my vanos rebuilt at 100k under warranty :)

[danewilson77]

I don't want to do belts.....until after coolant is in car. I can easily show you though.

[HokieZHP]

Dang! I would be there if I didn't have finals!

I don't have any plans Dane, so if you still end up doing your vanos this weekend I'll be there.

Maybe we'll just have some soda pops while we watch the 14 year old dhuuuuu eeeeeeeet.

[danewilson77]

How long of a drive is that?

[Stu]

I'd be there for sure, but I've got finals this and next week.

[danewilson77]

Skip finals...

[Newjack]

For me? Dunno exactly where you live, but I'm 2 minutes from the beltway.

LOL, I almost saw the belly of that one (being a ferner and all).

Can't do it, but pictures are always so nice to see. You guys have fun.

[Mtnman]

Good luck this weekend guys. And yes, i will drag Ryan whether its kicking and screaming to the meet in May. Lucy needs to be seen by everyone. Even better if the site is buying the London Broils this time! you guys need to buy some s*** over the next few months!

Totally agree. I have one in the freezer and his recipe, I will be attempting this soon.

[static667]

If the turn out is right, I may have to double the amount of bread...I probably should anyway....it went very well with the London Broil.

[Hermes]

can you change the seals on the double-o two if I bring it?

[Hornung418]

As long as there is crab, I won't care :) I'm sad I didn't get there early enough to taste the London Broil.

[RVAzhp]

No worries. It's a nice drive down to W'Burg though.
i've drive through there i'd say at least 12 times a year to see my parents in chesapeake. i stick to 60 most of the time in the summer. 64 is a mess.

Stop by somethime.....anytime really...on your way down...

[danewilson77]

I think I'm going to tear everything down tonight. When you guys show up.....VANOS will be apart, and I will stop at the point of putting seals and anti-rattle kit in. Then you can watch/help with re-assembly.

That's my plan now. We'll see how motivated I am after work today.

[echo46]

Damn, wish I was closer, I'd enjoy a few yuks and a lot of good beer. Someday.

Thanks Horney. I would just rather be able to take my time with it....then feel rushed tomorrow.

[Hornung418]

Totally. Now you can't give me any more grief for taking two days to do mine :P

LOL....true. 1.5 hours in now. Done for the day. Nice and easy. Trying to cope with the strut tower crack....

Get an ice cold beer. That should solve the issue for now ;)

Right now I'm cradling Dane's nuts.
