Oh, used to have to do that valve adjustment thing on the 914 all the time. At least on the driver's side. The driver's side intake and exhaust valves kept wondering. Mech said it was because the headers were close on that side.

Just got my free thermostat. Looks like a nice one and has just as many features besides the electric company peak operation thing as my old expensive set back thermostat. It event has a filter replacement reminder. Has home and away features etc. It talks to my electric meter so it is on the electric companies network. If it would talk to a home automation network it would be perfect. Didn't take very long just jack up that side, take the wheel off and pop the valve cover off. The valve cover was held on with a bail like most old brake reservoirs.

The peak thing it runs for 3 hours before the peak time starts at 2pm week days to pre-cool the house, then lets the house get a couple of degrees hotter before it run the A/C during the peak time of 2pm to 7pm. It can be overridden if I get uncomfortable. The installer guy showed me how to turn off the peak thing so it can be just a really nice programable thermostat.
