As a bonus I got the distributor vent installed.

Lots of bike riding and while I'm resting my legs, lots of driving my son to soccer games. My wife said it would really help her out if I took him to the games on both days. I said of course I'll drive him... knowing that the drives to both fields are all on back roads, and there's excellent parking at the lots.
I love it when I can help.
I was so helpful this weekend. Great drives to and from soccer, plus a bunch of errands and visiting friends in between.
The car ran flawlessly the whole weekend (and actually for the past 8+ months...).

I played with the camera a bit...

Valve adjustment done. Sounds good, no ticking. Cup pipe installed and new suspension going in tomorrow night. Thanks for the advice on using the backside method.

Not sure how long it took as I was multi tasking around the house and had many distractions. I sit in my easy chair next to the car and get on the phone etc. I did do it 3 times also. I would guess once all the parts are removed the actual adjustment was about 3 hrs. I am really fast getting all the parts off, I am just really **** about making sure each valve is perfect, and I was using the unfamiliar backside method this time.
