My car is not a DD , so my car sees me probably once a weak...

So did I. It just didn't make sense that the valves would get tighter over time in my head. One would think they just wear away over time causing the clearance to grow. I still don't understand it. Probably the extreme heat of the exhaust causing the adjusters to shift or change shape. Oh well.

- Get a good angled feeler gauge with a shit-ton of different blades. I like the Craftsman 40802 26-leaf offset gauge cause it has one of EVERY SAE thickness from .005" to .030": http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...2000P?prdNo=10
