Hi Tom. Hi Peter. Again, thanks for the insight and also for the warning. The car has been running well, so maybe there won't be a need for a valve job anytime soon.

Haven't rechecked the valves yet, but when I do - quite possibly this weekend - I'll determine the difference between points of least clearance and most clearance, and then adjust for normal clearance at the point of least clearance. Hopefully, there won't be any unpleasant surprises in any of the least/most differences.

Oh well, if a valve job is needed, a valve job is what she'll get. Take care all.

Jerry
