  • Time to make the doughnuts....
happyrock is just on the other side of oregon city.  

dont trust my valve adjustments as the last one i did went a little wacky.  some were tight and some were right.  oh well its all fixed now.  its simple and easy to do.
The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.

i can honestly say i dont know where clackamas town center is.

good luck with the valve job... it might be worth having a local shop do it... i know that German Motorworks only charges half hour of labor for it. cant speak for others though.. :?:
