Who would like to tour the Caterpillar Large Engine Center where my dad works?

Free of charge my dad can tour us around the factory, seeing engines as large as a small bus, crankshafts and camshafts taller than you are, the engine blocks being drilled, tapped, milled, etc., HUGE TURBOS, the engines being tested, just EVERYTHING there and learn all about it. This would be in my hometown of Lafayette, IN. We can do this any Saturday. Who is interested and when? My plan is to get a couple people that say "X date is good for me" and plan for that date. Who wants to do this?

More enticing info from my dad:

Quote:
yeah ben, it would be a grin to spend between one and two hours walking about the Large Engine Center. assembly line building of the 3500 engine (125 horse per cyl. average //8-16 cyl's) 3600 engine using a stall build process. averaging 350 horse per cyl. 6-8 inline, 12-16 vee styles. we finish assy of two smaller gas engines as well. we machine blocks, cranks, heads, and rods. some housings as well. more info to entice, as you want.

Count me in. Lemme know when!!

On a second note, it might be cool to see if we can somehow get a tour of the SIA (Subaru / Isuzu) plant. Do they do tours and stuff like that?
