I wish I knew the valve adjustment tool was only 20 bucks. I think I might buy one and new eccentrics as mine seemed pretty worn.

If your eccentrics (and probably valve stems) are worn, you might have better success adjusting the clearance at the cam instead.

Also, I noticed a puddle of coolant under my car today. I'm thinking it has to be where the t shaped hose connects to the thermostat. I had to remove it to get to the intake bolt in that location and I noticed the hose clamp is squishing it quite a bit. It might be cracked.

More shit to fix.

It's fantastic being able to drive it correctly :)

But I still miss the lows and they will be back.

Raised mine .5" and put on 1" taller tires, I am very happy now.

Mysterious puddle of coolant hasn't reappeared so I'm thinking tightening the hose clasp fixed it or it was the result of the system purging excess fluid even though the location didn't seem to point to that. Regardless, I just bought a new t hose from Blunt since I'm going on a road trip on Saturday.

Better safe than sorry.

I'm using swiftkey as well. I just hate when it autocorrects stuff and I can't go back, so I end up trying to type it out 3-4 times before it lets me leave it.

Its autocorrect and be pretty dense sometimes too, like when I type "herw" instead of "here" and its just like "well I guess herw is a word" or "that text is definitely supposed to say 'I'm herd'"
