Yeah I can see the washer up in there. In the picture it's in the upper right corner, in the mirror. It's misaligned with where the head stud should be. Pardon my ignorance, but does the depth of the break matter with regard to continuing to drive the car? I'm trying to figure out what my next move is:
1) Continue valve adjustment
2) Button it back up and park this thing until I can get my garage built
3) Cry myself to sleep
Thanks so much for everyone's help.
