valves adjustment

[rjlautner@sbcglobal.net]

Hi Andy, I use to run mud for Milchem back in the early 70s out of Jennings. Then flew float planes out of Houma for a while. My great grand father on my mothers side worked the oil fields in the Jennings area back in the 20s if I remember right. Did I read sometime ago you work the oil patch or was that someone else on the list? Guess if you don't work the patch then "running mud" won't mean anything to you, chuckle. You are right on about I-10! I lived within eyeball distance of I-10 in Baton Rouge till right after Katrina/Rita. Best regards Bob in Traverse City, MI 1972 K4, 1973 K5 and 77 CT90s K0 ST90

Jean Luc, The KLR's valve clearances usually get tighter over time, not looser. Thus they get quieter, not noisier. So you'll have to check the clearances. Mike Martin, Louisville, KY --- jean luc ascencio wrote:
