You were still rubbing your arse on a tree together with the wild boars when Stockport was already civilised.

How the fuck should I know?
I only arrived on this barren backward island in 2005.
And it became even worse since then, would you believe it now.

I managed to capture the tictictic and misfire at idle- seems as though I got me a couple valves that are sticking open.

Gonna pull the head off, pull the valves and check for straightness, cleanliness and all the other good things that cause valves to jam.
