On the contrary Ed, instead of .02 I'm sure your opinion is worth exactly what
I paid you for it. <VBG>
Just kidding, but couldn't resist. Actually, I have a mechanical stethoscope
that I use for valve adjustment. I can hear the valves right through the cover
using the scope. Checking every so often takes a very onerous thirty seconds.
Back before getting the alloy cover, I made up a sheet of 1/4" cork which I
had stuck inside the stock cover. It muffled much of the valve noise too.
Cheers,
Mark

Well, I really don't care for that approach<G>!
If you can't hear them with Std. cover they are too tight. By the time yoy
DO hear them with the alloy on, they are way too loose!!
Just my .02!
