I have pics of the valve train, so let me know and I would be glad to PM them to you.


Please pm them!


Pics are on the way.

Since many BITOG'ers believe the most engine wear occurs at startup, no matter what the ambient tempreture is ......I totally agree that a thinner oil (0w20) is superior to thicker oils for that reason alone..... No harm, no foul!
