>>>Hi Bruce,
>>>For putting the valves back in, first put on your eye protection, then, 
>>>put a valve spring in your bench vise with about a third exposed.  
>>>Compress it gently but not quite all the way.  Use a nylon string to pass 
>>>through the valve spring, end to end, and tie it in the compressed mode.  
>>>Loosen the vise, turn the valve spring half way and repeat.  At this 
>>>point you have the valve spring in the compressed mode, tied by string on 
>>>each side.  Install, cut string, and pull out the string with your 
>>>needlenose pliers.

Dang, Ron – seems simple enough. There’s a talent to doing things the easy 
way, I guess. Shame I don’t have it.

And TELL me about the rain. We were on our way to Columbia. Was wishing for 
one of those propeller hitch covers.
