Just curious ... why does the 602 in the E300D need valve adjustments, but not the 603? Since the E300D was a later model, wouldn't they want to use the adjustment-free technology? Was is it exactly about the 603 that kills the need for adjustments? Sorry to hijack the thread ... I'm just a habitual question-asker.
