	...and to add to the list of hopefully-not-annoying questions:

	Which cylinders are you calling 1, 2, 3, and 4?

	I think where we're all coming from is that the problem of the
single unadjustable valve indicates something pretty very wrong.  Since
it's also possible to get things flipped around, upside down, and/or
backwards, we're trying to make sure that we're not missing something
really fundamental.

	Also, I wouldn't drive a car that had a valve that wouldn't close;
probably wouldn't even run the engine!

	Folks, at what point to we ask Ben to size up his pushrods...?

Good luck,
-Greg
