<VV> Valve adjusment

[Jim Houston]

Thanks for all the replies. I have the local "guru" coming by on Sunday 
to help me with the adjustment. I just wanted to make sure that sitting 
without running for 8 months wouldn't change anything...

Bryan: one was clacking and I never could find out which one - thus, the 
intent to "start fresh" by adjusting all of them.
