So, I just got done with my first one... worst automotive maintenance task ever. Around 9 hours - what a lousy wasted vacation day! The rainy weather stopped Saturday, so I took it for a drive. Looks like I'll be doing my second valve adjustment very soon. Car sounds OK when cold, but lots of clatter when hot. Also seems a bit down on power.
Are there any caveats to re-using the nylocks & sealing washers? Pelican can't get them here before next Monday, and I'd like to get to work before then. Also curious on any strategies to avoid wasting 3 gallons of oil? I'm disinclined to use the oil pan, since it sits on the garage floor and accumulates grime and grit.
