I wish I had that kind of room for adjusting my rockers/valves.

How do you adjust them? Is it easy or require special tools?

Did you paint your valve cover yet?

Not to ask the stupid question but here it is. What kind of effort would it be for my to remove mine and look for sludge? My oil comes out clean and she still runs well but I want her to run forever.

Im a big fan of preventative maintenance and dont want to wait til something goes wrong.
