Woohoo!

Many moons ago I once did a valve adjustment where I mixed up thousandths of an inch with hundredths of millimeters or something like that, and completely messed up the adjustment of every valve. The motor started and ran (just), but the valvetrain sounded Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers were having a party with the entire extended Tappet family.

What's left to do?
