The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Right now I'm having some trouble with valve clearances. Luckily I might know how to fix it. I kept thinking the cam was jumping the timing (which it might still be by a link or two) because every time the engine seized the piston was up and the valves were down. That was before I remembered that there are two crank rotations for every single cam rotation. But the problem remains that the valves are now hitting and they weren't before I took the thing apart. I'm going to raise them up so they dont get bent and work them back down as I need. I can't afford a new set of valves ($100, half the value of the bike).
