The general consensus here is that It would be in my interest to pull the engine prior to lift (which is soon , we had frost here last night) , not so much because of the sticky valve problems (solved) but to examine and adjust the tappets along with the entire machine. Looking back , I was a babe in the woods when a friend helped me plunk this A-4 , as is , into my Columbia 34 almost 10 years ago. It had been idle for at least a few years prior to finding a home in my boat , and for another 8 years since. I have recieved quite a crash course education in the past few months , enough to know that to achieve peace of mind cruising with my family in coming years I must finish that education.
Thanks to all ,
I'll probably be back.
