      Last night I changed the oil, did my valve clearance check (only one valve was slightly out of spec :) ) and replaced spark plugs.

      I think it's only the second or third time I've had actually adjust a valve in over 4 years and over 250K km.

              haha, not sure how far I'm going to go with it but for sure tidying up a few things, then paint to match the rest of the car.

                Installed a heated mirror on my driver side (part #51161901176) and replaced the broken plastic triangular mirror trim piece (part #51321904517) while I was at it

                Im stoked

                    😔😥💔 prepped her for sale last night. I'm still torn up about this decision, but I know it needs to happen at this point in life

                        I finally had time to pull her out of winter and did a full detail. Stipped all wax and sealant, only needed a 2 stage buff, put on a glaze, paint sealant and finally a wax. Still need to clean the interior and wheels/rims. Need to do an oil change, fuel filter change and inspect/replace fuel lines.

                          I broke mine, Turns out the Rocker Shafts were not locked together thus causing the shafts to move, allowing the exhaust side rocker arm retaining clips to come off, I broke one rocker arm too.

                          I bought the head online a long time ago assuming it was ready to go. turns out it was missing the retaining clip that holds the two shafts together... I cant and i Will not hold the guy I bought it from responsiable it just sucks titties. Luckily I caught it before Major damages were cause. parts are on order Hopefully I can get a few pulls in this weekend if the parts come in soon enough.
