oh yes, if it leaks today I'll do more then sling that Chineezy cover a few miles... patiently waiting for my neighbors to wake up before I roar open headers for 20 minutes....lol....

I'm probably getting ahead of myself but reading up on adjust valves while running. The thought appeals to me and looks fairly simple.. I have a set of those oil defector clips... I have gone through the engine one by one and adjusted each cylinder 1/2 turn per the specs but it still sounds noisy, at least for the minute I have had it running...
