Vanillamitch,

We're you using the backside method for valve adjustment? Or the conventional way. Just curious.

Having gone too tight on a valve adjustment myself, they sure do run nice and quiet but way down on power. You would notice right away... I made it about a mile before turning around to do the job over.

+1, have valves re-adjusted or DIY and send him the bill.
