Boat Starter problem

Hey thanks for the offer. Mine has about 25k on the clock. Just adjusted the valve clearances and all 4 cylinders show good compression. *fingers crossed*

It's easy to tell if they need to be changed, when the screw part of the screw and locknut adjusters recedes into the nut, you are out of adjustment and need new valves. One thing that's really critical on those engine is to make sure both valves in each pair have exactly the same lash, otherwise the forked rocekr puts point stresses on the cam face and the cam can pit.
