    PS3 vs Wii according to the Onion

    I havent played the PS3, Im kinda pissed sony didnt deliver on alot of their promises. The Wii I think is amazing.

    I have valve tick, is it shims or guides ?

    Its not that I rushed, I took out the lifters and replaced the same ones back where they belong. Same exact holes. I had to go to work thats why I didnt answer, I pretty much did all that except measuring the clearances. I need a micrometer. Theres a chance I mixed 2 lifters on one cylinder...
