No, this was a CMP model. Actually, the gas here in California is spiked with ethanol, and I guess the asian stopper wasn't up to that. Our domestic stoppers seem to hold up fine.

Basil, I don't think that the valve adjusters are loosening. I think that it is just the parts wearing-in. I just adjusted my valves this morning. The clearances had increased, but the locknuts on...
