You can get all the love you need right here, I have learned on my own and then came here when I just could'nt hang without help. Take one issue at a time and you will get help, I will pitch in and others with more experience than me will too. I do not help unless I have done it myself and other here have done it all// joe

first and always mention your year of car engine size ect. every time you have a question on a fix.

just noticed your not new!! ooops! huh I would come over but your on the wrong coast..

Use the search tool here on the site. All of this stuff has been covered many times and in great detail. For the valve adjustment look up Krusty's write-up in the classic threads forum.

And...

I'm in daytona, and I've done quite a few valve adjusts since my '14 is my daily driver about to hit 100k mi. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I've done pretty much everything on your list, except the fuel injection stuff (I have dual carbs). I could help out next weekend if there was some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) involved....pm me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
