I was a little nervous about doing it myself...But as soon as I started taking it apart I realized I had just thought into it too much. I know most of you guys are like "Psh thats nothin I've torn apart my engine and carbs and put it all back together in 3 hours!" But this is an accomplishment to me .

Oh, by the way, did you check the valve lash clearances while you had it apart? :whistle:

Now your hooked, your life will never be the same for it becomes an obsession to have her dialed in.... :woohoo:
