I would like to try the dial indicator next time.

Pete,

Your car looks awesome and thanks for sharing the photos to remind me of the neglect I inflict to my cars.

My valves were not off by much to start with, I can't remember how much, but the dial indicator was dead nuts and the car sounds better and has more response. I do not hear any valves now.

I have a great powder coater. They did a fantastic job. I clean all the parts using a media blaster and they take it from there.
