VCT training with John Thorton
Feb 20th, 2016 at 7:15pm
 
Hi all, just got back from an 8 hour training course put on by our local parts chain and they brought in John Thorton.
John is based out of Chicago and does mobile diagnostics by day (and probably evenings and weekends based on his knowledge).

John was speaking about variable cam timing and went through his diagnostic strategies and how he approaches cam timing issues.

If anyone has the opportunity to go hear him sometime, you will not be disappointed. He is engaging and has plenty of experience and horror stories to go along with his course. I came home with a 300 page book full of his power point slides that contained the typical scan tool screen shots, case studies and of course lots of PICOSCOPE SCREEN SHOTS!

kwrencher,

Glad you were able to attend one of John's classes. He is a very knowledgeable instructor and has a passion for what he teaches.

I attend several of his classes a year and each time learn more and more. Personally I don't see where he finds the time to put on classes, diagnose and have a life.

Will you be going to Vision this year? If not you should look into next years event. A lot of the top trainers will be there.

I have just learned of Vision here from the Nerdz for the first time, and briefly looked into it. However I don't think it'll work out this year. In the future it would be nice to make it down at some point
