I have the pressure gauge kit from Moyer, which came with a long copper tube... is there any reason I must use that length? I'd like it much shorter but wondered if the length had any function in the...

Smoothing it out?

I would like to know what would make a good-running engine run smoother. I just thought it could be more even sounding, not that it is really off in any way. Suggestions?

Thanks! Well, well, the centered punch worked. Smacking hard onto a flat blade held over the valve didn't and now of course it seems obvious. I did check every time that there is the room for the...
