First car of the day had tight valves, .007 on the exhaust side.

This bring my list of DBW cars (06-09) to about 55% having tight valves.

For comparison, tight valves in 00-05 cars is under 1%, and even those were .009 on the exhaust.

I will likely post a bulletin about this in the UTH forum.

I'll probably stop on by for a visit on Saturday, like noonish if that's still cool.

Now, if Joe would just rig a little WiFi camera over the cars and broadcast to that TV, people could watch Bill and learn without him having to stop or have people crowd around the car.

Get moving on that Joe!

What kind of anti-social behavior is that?

Interesting. My car has 26k on it, would it need a valve adjustment?

If it's a DBW car then definitely...any time after 15k is best. Once done you can safely go another 60k or so on the DBW cars, 80k or so on the non-DBW.
