2. Changes to Membership - none.

3. Approval of 12/15 TelCon Minutes - approved.

4. Follow-up / Update on shake-down/testing at each lab with 80 C EGR coolant inlet temperature.

Lubrizol - plumbing from egr valve to coolers keeps breaking. They are working on fixing the situation so they can continue on with shakedown testing. They are set up with two egr coolers. Jim hopes to have some op data by next week.

PerkinElmer - they plan to start today, and will attempt to run a full test with two coolers. They expect to have some op data by next week's meeting.

Afton - has the three coolers plumbed in and expects to start running this week.

SwRI - has not run with three coolers or 80 deg C and are unsure when they will be able to.

XOM - the three coolers have been set up, the expect to start within ten days.

It was agreed that egr out temperature (egr pre-venturi temp) should be no less than 104 deg C (220 deg F) for both stages.

5. H/W availability update: oil cooler endcaps, ss intake manifold, ss Venturi.
Ron Buck indicated that the venturis will be completed this week; the intake manifolds are coming at about two week intervals. Afton is still waiting for an intake manifold. PE should be getting the oil cooler endcaps soon. Ron was able to get the Modine coolers at the discounted price; interested labs are to contact Ron. Jim Matasic has some part numbers (p/n MA0159051F)for the gaskets.

5. EGR Cleaning Procedure - no progress has been made since the last update.

6. Ring Wear Measurement Update - this issue has been abandoned and we will go ahead with gaps and weight loss.

7. Items for meeting in S. Antonio on Jan 12 - Review operational data, test procedure, report packet. The meeting will be in San Antonio, TX at 8:30 am. PerkinElmer will host the meeting at their LTC facility.
