Finally, a nice, warm day in Atlanta! I used it to tie up some loose ends on projects from last year, and investigate a noisy something under the valve cover that has developed in the pas few weeks.



Now I have a adjuster screw wearing on #6 intake, which is the rocker on the left!







All three of my valvetrain related problems has been on the driver side head. Chuck is to blame for one of themBigGrin. Oh well. I wish the new stuff would stop breaking so I can focus more time on other areas.
