Wanna bet he didn't pay any attention to the glow light, either?
I finally got to work on this poor old car and pulled the cam cover off
and started on the valves this weekend.
I ran out of time so it is sitting in the garage waiting for me to come

I have 3 valves left to adjust. The intake on 4 and on 5 and the exhaust
on 5.
I sort of got
