I am certain that all of our DML readers who have read your response to David Teitelbaum and yours truly, DMC Joe's, comments on your request for assistance have several responses they might like to make in our defense. Let me save everyone precious time with this direct response. Matt, Your question was: "Is there a procedure somewhere that tells the "layperson" how to adjust the valves on the DeLorean?" Our detailed answerers were to a "lay person" not, as you describe yourself, a person who can do procedures yourself with no one helping you except the occasional friend. Finally you said: "Auto mechanics is NOT rocket science, and providing you have the tools and literature, ANYONE CAN DO IT." I'll be sure to pass this on to Steven Wynne, Rob Grady and Don Steger. Regards, DMC Joe -----Original Message----- From: Matt Spittle [mailto:supermatty@xxxxxxx] Subject: [DML] Re: Valve adjustment? (In response to DMC Joe and David T) Both responses I have received in asking how to adjust the valves have been of the tone "Find someone who knows how to do it." If this would have been the type of advice I'd followed on my car since I purchased it about a year ago, I unnecessarily would have easily spent THOUSANDS of dollars on it in labor alone. The reason I post here asking for advice, is because ***I*** want to do the procedure.
