May Meeting- 6-Cylinder Tech Talk and
Voting on the Proposed By-Law Changes

We will have a discussion on six-cylinder engines. What are some of the differences between the 216 cubic inch and the 235 cubic inch block? Can you make your 235 look like a 216? Have you heard of hydraulic lifters making noise?

Dave Folsom has incredible knowledge of Chevrolet six-cylinder
engines and can share his expertise to answer these question and more. Additionally, he has spent time researching and experimenting to find the cause of the noisy hydraulic lifters. He will join us to share his findings. As well as share a six-cylinder block water pump adapter he developed.

We will briefing review the By-Law changes and vote to approve the updated document.

If time allows we can open up the discussion to general Chevrolet
related automotive repair topics. So, bring your questions to the
meeting and we will do our best to provide time for Dave to
answers them.
