Cam seal leaking - Hope to make it to Cincy.
Well, you prolly read my situation. It took all of 5 sec to realize that driving with locked on wheel bolts would just be stupid. Getting up at 6am tommorrow, sticking on a wheel with the 2 bolts and taking it to a decent local tire shop when they open. Hopefully they can work some sort of magic in a short amount of time.

Well we replaced for the 3rd time a new cam seal and now it is leaking more than ever. Made a call to Autotech about their cam not sealing and compared measurements. It measured about .006 smaller than it should so we supspected that was the cause. Today I am having an exhaust cam overnighted to my mechanics to be installed tomorrow (Thursday). The only other possibility is that it is not spining true and causing a leak. Hopefullly this will solve the problem, if not I don't know if I'll be making it to Cincy this year.
Anyone ever have a problem like this?
I'll keep everyone posted. I reeally would like to make it this year but not if the car is not trusting.

Ellen's Corrado has a fuel leak somewhere around the paasenger seat, badly!
So it's at our family mech right now. Plus a valve cover gasket.
But you numbers look good.
You'll be fine on the trip down.

We will also have FRS radios as well with us.
As for testing it against Ellen's I jus thoping to make it to Cincy right now. Its leaking oil for a cam seal that has already been replaced once and looks like it will be again on Wednesday. Also I''ll have brand new Kuhmo's SPT (replacing the escta 712's). I was pushing about 145 at the wheels when the fuel pump crapped out. Haven't had it dyno'd since I have had that repaired. But I could give a run for it.

If Parker or anyone else is too exausted to drive once arriving at our house, either Ellen or myself can take over driving their scirocco so they can catch some zzzz's on the way to Dee's parents house.
Eric Person from Chicago(downtown) might hook up with us too. Maybe.
Currently I have Nate and Dan booked for beds here on Thursday night. I have a nice leather couch left for anyone who wants it.
Otherwise we have cotts that are also available, why sleep on the floor if you don't have too, right!
Seems that we have the largest caravan going to cincy right now.
As far as 2-way radios I believe Dan said he has 2 and Nate has 2, I would like to make sure we have good communication on the trip incase of unforseen problems.
Let me know if we need more, and we'll go buy another set.
Don, I can't wait to see what you've done to the car I almost bought, and as far as speed, you can always test it out against Ellen's vr6 corrado(213hp/220tqe) before we leave. You'll have a lower gross weight inwhich you could teach her a lesson with!
Any questions about staying over or plans for the way down, don't hesitate to call us.

Okay guys, lets see how this works.
I'm not far from Tonee (1.5 hours or so), so Friday morning ron-day-voo
should be easy. Parker is really far away, so a long Friday morning
drive is in store, unless you want to make the drive to my house
Thursday night, stay here, and we can jet to the Northam's first thing
Friday. It's really easy to get to my house, I'm literally 1 turn and
about 1 mile off of I-90. We all should get Tonee's vitals (name, rank,
serial number, address, phone, etc) so we actually know where to meet up
My cell is 608-295-6934
