    adjusting valves on Lehman 120

    The information posted here (above) for the Ford Lehman 120 is incorrect in that it is backwards. The lash is .012 for exhaust and .015 for the intake. I know it seems backwards but this is verified with Brian at American Diesel. Chuck

    Best time for extended cruising around the Chesapeake

    Before you plan a Fall trip let me add this... I love doing fall trips but for the last several years there have been hurricanes.
