hey i've been runnin' this motor pretty good, i put it on reserve tonite at about 8:00. i'm ganna let it run almost out,
then change the oil, and instal the oil-cooler.
should i go ahead and adjust them then?
can i do this myself, where can i get a "feeler guage"
gimme some specs on propper clearance.
