I am also swapping all of his fluids for Eneos fluids (AT fluid and gear oil) and whatever else I can hook him up with while I have his car.

Phil has the Cobb setup and can retune as needed for the cai.
No water meth Phil? Please think about that. I truely believe it would be of benefit for you.

Yes, and none of his old parts will be on E-Bay unless HE lists them.

Sorry, I couldn't resist, either.;)

I would hate to feel responsible for his accidental suicide so I am programming the Cobb to rev-limit to 6,000 RPMs.:lol2:

UPDATE:

I have made arrangements to have Phil's engine pulled and in my hands next Friday (10/17) and I have ordered all his parts. They should all be delivered over the next 5 biz days or so. I will rebuild his engine next weekend and have it re-installed on Monday (10/20). Then, I have some detail-work to do on his car at my house. Once his car is all done I will deliver it to Las Vegas.

For those who wonder; Phil's engine will be in my hands on Friday and will be rebuilt this coming weekend. Then, on Monday/Tuesday of next week the engine will go back in the car. After that, I get the car back in my hands to finish the details and deliver it back to Phil in Las Vegas. I reserve the right to change the timeline of expectations because dealing with shit beyond my control and unforseen circumstances is how I spend 90% of my time for BHR these days.

BTW, I don't wish to make this thread about anything other than the things involved in Phil's rebuild and there will be plenty of drama for me to discuss when the time is right. Suffice it to say that the delay in his rebuild involves a LOT of poor timing and management on my part and I shall confess all my sins, like I always do, when the time is right for it. I just hope Phil can report that the wait was worth it when he drives his 8 again.
