Well I decided to attempt doing my valves tonight myself reading
that others do it here. Talk about a challenge doing it yourself
with no help for the first time. I had no clue! But now that I've
done it, the procedure itself like others have said is pretty easy.

MORE IMPORTANTLY...
When I started it up after doing it I'm getting lots of racket under
there. I'm thinking I made them too loose? I set them at the loose
end of the range thinking they would only tighten up over time but
maybe I should not have. For example, the exhaust range is .006-
.008 so I set them for .008 (and you can't fit the .009 in there).
Similar on the intake valves but they obviously have a different
range. It's now 1am so I can't take it apart again until tomorrow
night. I'm not gonna drive it until then, although I read somewhere
that loose valves are generally ok, just noisy, but I don't want to
risk it.

Anyone have any advice for where in the range I should be setting
them so I don't have to take it apart again after the next time?????
Thanks,
Chris
