Talking Purdue University car show -- April 23, 2005

To celebrate a long Purdue tradition known as Grand Prix week, the Purdue Automotive Performance Association is sponsoring an annual car show to be held on April 23, 2005 on Purdue's campus.

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~papa/papa.pl?page=grandprix

Pass the word along. All vehicles welcome! I'd like to see how many F-Bodies we could get there.

We're still in the process of ripping it apart. We thought it was a bent pushrod or collapsed lifter, but its starting to seem like a spun bearing... not sure yet. I'll keep you updated bri.

Well, we all know what a spun bearing sounds like.

You don't have the problem I had do you? Where I thought I bent a rod, but I actually popped off a plug wire. It was ticking, but that was just the electricity from the wire arcing off of the block. Yeah I felt like an idiot.

Oh and just look for the TTA I'll probably be the only one there.
