Well,I got this response from Don Moyer himself after sending him a link to a
video of my A4 running; "Danny,Sorry, but I'm not hearing any ticking sound and
I listened to the videoseveral times.We test all our engines on a dynamometer
at 2000 RPM for several hours withthe water brake set at a 10 HP load (the
power required to drive a Catalina30 to hull speed of 6.1 knots) with no
threatening noise being heard. So,with our dyno test, along with not hearing
anything in your video, I'mcomfortable to tell you to keep using the engine for
at least the 50 hourbreak-in period. If an apparent valve noise is still
present, you can resetthe valves at that time.Regards,Don Moyer "

Ah, yes. Might be time to give them a call. They may even have a local contact
that will come by to 'ave a look.

Yea, well this a Moyer exchange engine and I shouldn't have to adjust anything.
If they need adjusted someone from moyer should come up and do it, right?

Hi Danny,
Note, it's a different clearance hot vs cold. I liked setting to hot clearance
(while hot of course) because that is where the engine spends most of it's
running time.
This is good.

Danny,
you'll need to look up the clearance for the lifters. With the valve cover off
you should be able to tell which valve needs adjusting, but you might as well
do them all. Intake and exhaust usually have different clearances. Don't go
less than spec or you risk bending a valve.
