Valve adjustment

Hurray - the valves are adjusted! Finished the job last week after another midnight session. Today I went for a short lunch ride, up Page Mill to Skyline, Alice's and back along 84; everything seemed to be working smoothly - the sound is a little different, the valves seem to be 'ticking' better, which is what you'd expect after increasing the clearances back to spec (all my openers needed more clearance, so I sanded the shims down). Hope to put on a page with details soon (will be useful as documentation and reference for myself).
