Are the tuna cans easy to install once the engine is together? It may sound like a dumb question, but.....

Does the taco plate accept the stock sensor?

If so, count me in for one of each black preferred.

Let me know who needs the $$

Thanks!

Thomas
Yep, just have to drain your oil get the gasket and seal ...

My understanding is that the Taco accepts stock sensor and OEM seal and the Tuna accepts OEM gasket, strainer and cover.

Payment details haven't been nailed down yet. I proposed that each participant pay Neil directly, but that could change if 'someone' wants to handle that portion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Personally, I don't want to collect the $, especially Pay Pal payments.

The iffy thing about GBs like this one, is there are always a few that sign up, but don't follow through, skewing the numbers for everyone else.

I'd hope all those who are on board are actually committed to this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Jonsey can you confirm this ?
My recollection was that original design Tuna can's had no solution for an application of the OE strainer? Picture?

Also this may have already been answered but the OE temp sensor location was angled I assume for clearance and possibly to avoid smackage of swingy bits internal to the motor? Since this mount puts it at a 90 to the case is it now lower?
In other words does it mount proud of the bottom of the case much like the Tuna can?

Nord, when the GB is finalized and the actual costs are known, maybe you could send a check to one of the other participants and have them add your purchase to their payment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Rich, it looks like the taco plate wouldn't sit any lower then the engine mounting bar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I may be wrong about the strainer. I don't remember who posted something about a modification to use the strainer, but maybe it was for the old style tuna cans. I'll try to find the post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)


EDIT
Found it. It was relating to the old style can.

I modified my strainer to use it with the tuna can. Dont forget the new gasket and what ever you do DONT over tighten it.

I just had one of these arrive in the mail and am very happy with how it looks.
Havent had the chance to fit it yet because i am waiting for a pair of new seals to fit.
May i sugest organising a bunch of these for each kit as you will need 2 for each kit and it's a pain having to wait for 2 suppliers
Looks like some good buying to be had here.

Here's the updated Excel spreadsheet.
Attached File  TunacanGroupBuy.xls ( 32k ) Number of downloads: 182


I added a column for Paypal Fees in the event someone collects payments from everyone else.
I am willing to be the hub for payments if we go with single payer to Jonesy.
However, Paypal adds a significant cost to this option.
The only way around it is using the Gift option or sending check/money order.
I don't know what Paypal's policy is regarding Gifts, how closely they monitor it or if they apply fees when a payment doesn't fit their accepted model.

I already purchase strainer seal kits in quantity and could add these, as well as a taco plate seal kit if desired. I haven't found a good source for the little hollow copper washers yet though.
The line between GB participant and vendor is getting a little blurry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Is there a California group buy? If so, can I still get in on it? I'm here in Southern California.
Still plenty of time, Joe. Just let us know what you want, color and quantities and I'll update the list.

Ok, I'm in for a tuna can. Don't care what color.

I would prefer a single payment and thats really what i based the discounted group buy prices on.
Paypal gift option works fine with no problems, how can they decide how many friends you have that want to send you a gift ; )
The only fees that paypal apply with a gift payment is if your sending money in a different currency. So the buyers paying you Chris won't be a problem.
However, you paying me will incur a charge. If paid as a gift i will pay this fee (you choose who pays it when you make the payment) as otherwise its not fair on you, unless you divide it again between all buyers... but lets keep this as simple as possibe and i'll just pay it.
Cheers,
Neil

Neil, what about the OEM oil strainer?

Can it be utilized with your Tuna Can, or do we eliminate it?

I need an answer to this until I commit to the can.

I like the idea of Chris being a hub as it would seem that the shipping costs will be greatly diminished if he wants to take it on. Besides I think I will spring for the MPS kit since I have committed to stock FI.

So Chris will you do that?

A) Yes the stock strainer can be utilized. That's a key feature IMO.

B) I'm fine with taking care of collecting payment as long as people use the Gift option or send a check/MO.
I have the infrastructure for distribution and most of you are already in my postal address book.
Neil prefers a single payment as I suspected he would want anyway.

I'll let Mark keep up the paperwork until the "enrollment period" ends.

No payments until after closing and we calculate the correct payment for the exchange rate and number of pieces ordered.

No need to pay me for my part. I'm getting something I wanted at a better price too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I never took the time to understand the benefit for these things. One or two seconds of oil in a corner?
