Back and better then ever!
Boys I'm back and better then ever, look you can tell!
Eric and I carried on with the engine reassembly by adjusting the intake and exhaust valves using the feeler gage. We used a 152mm gage for the exhaust valve found at front of the engine and 102mm for the intake valve. The reason this is so important is because we need to insure the valves open and close fully for maximum compression.
