Ashford, did you see those other covers at the bottom of the ad in the Moss link from Tad ?

A couple of questions, Craig.

And was your catastrophic failure in that one cylinder...

I think I'll stick with 10. I'd be willing to bet they ('works guy's') knew the engine pretty good before they came up with the valve lash spec for the...
