<VV> Cold Valve Adjust - another take

[Eric S. Eberhard]

I have found that:
         1) having a lift is good
         2) 1/2 valve covers help
         3) experience helps

Are all good.  My local mechanic has all these.  I had both my cars done, 
cost me 25 bucks each, at that rate I'll never do my own!!!

I'll do almost any job on a vair except that one!
