    Sunday it is. I edited the post for 10am 12/5.

    I have some tools, and will have the gauge from Adam, but I really don't have a clue what else we will need. If someone will post the tools we need, I will check to make sure we have it.

    If you want beer, feel free to bring it, but I don't stock it.

    I know some people enjoy playing PS2 with the gang, which I dont have one. If someone wants to bring one, we can plug it into the Big Screen.

    If you want to come, PM me for address and phone number!

    About all you need is a sparkplug wrench. I'll bring some tools.

    BTW. if your pulling the plugs to do a compression check, what a great opportunity to replace you spark plugs!

    Just remember to unplug your coil packs before you do the compression test. Otherwise you could fry them. Ya'll have fun.

    I also unplug the injector harness so I'm not squirting gas into the gauge. I have broken a gauge by doing that

    That wouldn't be the gauge you were going to bring over, would it?

    No I am not, you kids participating in the compression test need to get both.

    I'm not planning on pulling plugs on the POS since I already have already done a compression check on the POS back in August.

    Well actually I do have a small tube of anti-seize I just put it in the trunk!
