You didn't protect me before. Why should I believe you now? Do you know how much being tarred and feathered in a certain area hurts?
I can't recall how I learned to adjust my valves but I got me some feeler gauges and did it often on my '69 Volvo. I did lots of work on my car by learning mostly from my friends.
On a related note, Portland is farther west than any other major city (above 400K) in the United States.
Someone somewhere pointed out that there's a place in Oregon that's farther West than anyplace in the United States except Alaska and Hawaii.
All I had were repair books, Schuck's auto parts, IPD and friends to guide me. I changed oil, disc brake pads, made temporary repairs on my distributor, added a spark enhancer, changed and set the gap on valves, cleaned and rebuilt the carbs, replaced a muffler, replace s couple of broken u-joints, replaced my battery, light bulbs, fuses, lenses, trim, windshield wiper blades, gear shifter, broken lug and I don't recall what else. You learn when you're broke and you need it done.
I don't think that is true. The Olympic Peninsula part of Washington juts out further west than any part of Oregon
put a cj-5 body on a '58 willy's frame, swapped the flat head 4 for a buick v-6 and hooked it to the t-90 trans and had a fo'real stump jumper.
