Vermont First Valve Adjustment Attempt
Anyone in Vermont around willing to guide me along in my first valve adjust?
I'm tackling this job this Thursday, maybe someone to check my work?? I've got cases and cases of beer!  South Burlington area.

Hey Pelicans. The valve adjust went great, thanks to Pete3799's help. How cool is that when a perfect stranger drives 50 miles to help out another perfect stranger!! Thanks Pete!!
All the forums here are key to doing the adjust, getting the proper feel on the feeler gauge was key as well. Make sure you have plenty of feeler blade replacements, we went through four. Had to remove the big blower hose and would have removed the cat if I thought it was removable. Also found an exhaust leak that can hopefully be welded. Having two guys was the way to go, we checked each others work and BSed a bunch so time flew by. Rear wheel bearings are next. If anyone has any questions please write me.
