I don’t want to start working on the Valve clearance adjustment unless I can block several hours for the day to finish at least one bank without being interrupted.


Even using the same tools, the result could be different because of the changes in the sensibility of the fingertip.

Now I just need to find some time to test these two boards using my NSX with test driving ...
