Thanks Tom That was clear and explained some things about the valves that I guess I really did not know. I followed what you suggested and she started right up. Well I did swap out the fouled plugs with some new ones but still... Thanks a million. The valves were clacking away and the coolant reservoir was falling fast, but bleeding/burping and adjusting the valves are for another day. I'm beat.
