Valve adjustment done!

Well,

I got the first valve adjustment done, finally. Everything was very straighforward except getting the feeler gauge (the one designed for these engines) was still the biggest challenge. So far, so ticking sounds, I made sure each was a very snug sliding fit on the gauge. I got my first smoke screen ever on start up from the oil on the SSIs, which I had never seen before. i was also able to rebuild the blower fan and housing which had begun to separate and replace some heater hoses. Not a fun job, though, overall, but now I know everything is adjusted right and all my headstuds seem secure.
