Minutes of 10-1-04
Approved as issued.

Scope and Objectives
The draft that was distributed was approved without changes (attached). 

Hardware Update
New Block -  p/n 239GB5553M useage was confirmed.

Oil Pumps - old style oil pump will be used. Ron Buck confirmed that the 14 still in the system are new and not re-manufactured.

Modine Cooler -  Ken is still working to get a better deal on the coolers. Ron volunteered to poll the labs for the number of coolers that may be needed. This will help to determine whether the industry should buy a lot of 10 or whether the labs should purchase on their own. 

Engine Kits -  to Afton, Lubrizol, and PerkinElmer have been shipped. Lubrizol and Afton have received theirs, PerkinElmer's should be arriving soon.

EGR Coolers and Cleaning - concern exists the the coolers may foul during the test. The manufacturer does not have any recommended cleaning procedures. The material content of the coolers is shown below. The T-12 group needs to develop a cleaning method and this issue will carry forward.

EGR COOLER MATERIAL CONTENT:
Core and Shell --> SS 304L
Braze alloy for Core --> BNi5
End tanks --> cast SS 304L
Weld rod for tank to core --> Hastleloy-W
Weld rod for bracket to core assy --> SS 308

Ring Wear Measurement Sub-Group
Ken Goshorn is waiting for response from the ring supplier (or anyone else) regarding a way to measure side wear. This issue will be an ongoing concern for the task force and further discussion will take place at the next meeting.

Next Meeting - a conference call will be held on Friday, Oct 15th, at 10:00 am.  A meeting was tentatively scheduled for October 20, 2004.
