Not sure why I would need an aspirin, I don't have a head-ache.

Yeah, I should do the valves. It's been about 10.000 miles since the last adjustment, but the last adjustment was done by the previous owner, and I don't know how well he did it.
He did give me the bend wrenches with the car to do the valve adjustment.
Thing is, I've been putting it off, because the Mercedes driving season will only be a few more weeks. We're gonna get snow and ice soon, and I won't drive Betsie in winter. Figure I'd do it in a few weeks.

You think the dark smoke out of the tail pipe when she's cold, and the smoke coming out of the breather tube when she's hot are related?
