I am interested, however the time commitment will be a barrier. With broadband being so widely available, perhaps a remote learning oportunity is possible ?

I want to put parts in people's hands.. Nothing like having unlimited reference material available here at my facility.
It could be done online, but I honestly do not feel that the attendee would have the confidence they would if they were to do a "lab" on the procedures that are most complicated and misunderstood.

I'd do these on a weekend, arrive friday night, attend class till Sunday afternoon..

Interesting

Would love to attend, but not until next summer when I return to the States. Keep us posted if you do decide to offer these classes.

Do you work on your own car?

Meaning at the end have you done some work on your car for the first time? Are parts/fluids included?

Got an outline of what would be covered?

Mike, I literally just brainstormed this idea yesterday so its honestly not something I have outlined yet, except in my mind..

Covering the IMSR, 30,60 and 90K services in detail as well as how to carry out more in-depth versions of them.

Water pump replacement and troubleshooting some common issues would also be included.. We can do a lot in two full days, my engine rebuild schools are only 3 days long and during that time I assemble a complete engine.

Interested

Jake,
I would certainly be interested. Depending on the size of the class, what is covered in the class and what activities are performed the price may be in the right ballpark. I've performed most of the services already so the "above and beyond" knowledge would be the most interesting part for me. I'm in the north Atlanta area so it would be easy to fit it in. Keep us posted as you figure out the details.

Regards,
Bill
